I asked about this back in December, and no one could give a good answer.

I say JDK 1.3. We're not using any of the 1.4 stuff (nio or regexp) at the moment, so barring a good reason we should stay at that level of compatibility.

Hi Will,

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).

I say go for it. I haven't directly used any Ant other than 1.6, or indirectly used other than 1.5 (via Maven) for a long time now.

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.

Maven doesn't work with Ant 1.6 AFAIK, but since we're using Ant to build Velocity, I guess it doesn't really matter.

BTW, what's the minimum requirement of JDK?  (Just curious)

Best regards,
-- Shinobu
