Description Jesse Glick 2004-01-07 21:30:57 UTC 
Since Ant 1.6.0 is released, we might as well
switch the official NetBeans build to use it.
AFAIK everything still works as with 1.5.3, so the
only thing necessary should be a bit of testing.
XTest can already use 1.6.0, apparently.

We can start to use 1.6.0 features as they are
needed - <import> in particular could be quite
nice for us.

Dev builds of the IDE already bundle 1.6.0.
Comment 1 Michal Zlamal 2004-02-17 17:49:48 UTC 
I don't see any reason to have this filed as P1, when this isn't critical at all, but I can 
confirm that the build is working with ANT 1.6 and the upgrade won't be before NB 3.6 
FCS is done.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-02-17 17:53:04 UTC 
No need for 3.6 to use it, but probably we can and should switch to
1.6.x immediately after 3.6 is branched. BTW 1.6.1 is out now; I am
trying to get legal approval for it right now (new Apache 2.0
license), but that does not affect usage for NB builds since we do not
bundle the version of Ant used for building our own code anyway.
Comment 3 Michal Zlamal 2004-03-04 13:21:50 UTC 
The plan is to start using ANT 1.6.1 for trunk at Monday March 8 2004 
at noon GMT.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-03-04 16:06:27 UTC 
Sounds good.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2004-03-08 14:35:22 UTC 
I guess this is now done. Thanks!

BTW I committed:

committed   * Up-To-Date  1.27        nbbuild/www/ant-quick.html
committed   * Up-To-Date  1.12        nbbuild/www/ant.html

Just FYI: NetBeans continuous and daily builds for trunk have been
configured to use Ant 1.6.1.
