I'll pull it out if their are objections to my proposal.

Subject: require ant 1.5+ ?
Hi,
Any objections if we raise the minimum required ant version to 1.5.1? (Currently our docs read minimum ant 1.3) For the record, ant 1.5 was released more than 2 years ago (October 2002).
The reason is texen compatibility. The latest update to Velocity [1] changed the way the classes are loaded. This breaks "ant test" under gump.
If we remove the archaic, undocumented ant attribute "reverseloader" this is fixed. (See my email of 2/7 for details). Then we can rid of those annoying nag messages from Gump.
I've tested this with ant 1.6 and ant 1.5. With both cases "ant test-texen-classpath" works if we remove the reverseloader attribute. I can't test ant 1.3 and ant 1.4 as they are incompatible with JDK 1.4.2 which I'm using. [2] Earlier versions of ant will probably continue to work with everything except Texen.
Incidentally, if we raise the minimum bar to ant 1.6, we can include the javacc task to automatically build the parser code [3]. Of course, we can include this anyway and just complain if the version of ant is too early.
