Ant 1.8.0 is currently in RC1. When at FCS, it should be bundled in NB. Besides the usual steps: 1. junit/external/Ant-1.7.1-binary-patch-72080.jar will need to be recreated. See bug #72080 for details. 2. o.apache.tools.ant.module/release/ant/patches/ant-42275.jar can be deleted, as this Ant bug has been fixed upstream. Project types using 1.8.0-specific features should enforce this in the header in build-impl.xml. RE should at that time also be asked to start building NB sources with 1.8.0.
The release coordinator says: > Can I Know the exact or tentative date for release of Ant 1.8 stable version? I would think it will be in one to two months maximum, so between mid February and mid March.
Could be ready as early as Jan 29. I will try to put it into M2.
Created attachment 93892 [details] Tentative patch
Prepared but not much tested. Especially need to check 1. Unit tests of java.project, apisupport.feedreader, etc. 2. Verify that the port of #72080 works correctly. (Made to compile but nothing more.)
(In reply to comment #4) > Verify that the port of #72080 works correctly. In progress; had to make some corrections. Currently using a build from revision 907156.
Created attachment 93926 [details] Updated patch Had to tweak CoS test runner a bit to work with the updated #72080 patch, but otherwise everything looks good.
