There should be somewhere displayed version of ant used in IDE. Either in properties for Ant Settings (tab Info) or better in Module properties for ant module in tab Expert. Once there is more stable ant versions IDE should inform users about current version in IDE. IMHO the best would be to have there the string, which is printed out when you type ant -version, e.g.: Ant version 1.3 compiled on March 2 2001
I agree it should be available. Neither of the places you suggest is possible unfortunately (not under module control). Perhaps a read-only property in Ant Settings. Also ${ant.version} should resolve to it, as it does I think in commandline Ant. Note that for a released version of the Ant module, the Ant library should be some released version, and the Ant manual should say what it is. Still some sort of confirmation from ant.jar would be in order.
Implemented. r/o prop on AntSettings, and ${ant.version} in builds. 1.13 ant/src/org/apache/tools/ant/module/AntSettings.java 1.9 ant/src/org/apache/tools/ant/module/AntSettingsBeanInfo.java 1.15 ant/src/org/apache/tools/ant/module/Bundle.properties 1.15 ant/src/org/apache/tools/ant/module/run/TargetExecutor.java
Verified in build dev-20011003.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
