< p > The Apache board < a href = "mission.html" > created< / a >
the Apache Ant top level project. Ant has now migrated from the Jakarta
project into an Apache project of its own. This is primarily an
organizational change and will not affect the technical aspects of
the project. Ant retains a strong association with the Apache
Jakarta project. One effect of this change is that the Ant webpage
is now located at < a href = "http://ant.apache.org" > http://ant.apache.org< / a >

< p >
Java 1.4 has now been released by Sun. The latest Ant source supports
the new < tt > assert< / tt > statement in the compiler task via the < tt > source< / tt >
attribute. It also contains a compatibility fix needed for some ant tasks
on Java 1.4 over Windows XP. If you have problems running Ant 1.4.1 on WinXP/Java 1.4,
please use a recent build or compile your own version from the source tree.

< p > Ant has been in use for quite some time and has been used in ways never conceived when it
was originally written. While Ant 1.x has continued to sucessfully evolve and grow, there
are a number of limitations and inconsistencies that are now apparent and which need to
be addressed.
< / p >
< p >
As we continue to evolve and enhance Ant 1.x, it is now time to define what Ant 2.0 will
encompass. Ant 2.0 will be a major rearchitecting of Ant. It has a number of goals including:
2003-01-22 10:01:25 +00:00
< / p >
< ul >
2001-08-07 13:51:43 +00:00
< li > Define the "contract" with build file writers to which Ant will be bound.< / li >
< li > Define the "contract" between the Ant core and Task writers.< / li >
< li > Make Ant more easily extendable by allowing additional tasks to be "dropped" in.< / li >
< li > Allow Ant to function as a component to simplify integration with GUIs and IDEs.< / li >
< li > Make Ant more regular and logical.< / li >
< / ul >
2003-01-22 10:01:25 +00:00
< p >
2001-08-07 13:51:43 +00:00
It is expected that Ant 2.0 will break Ant 1.x based build files. The intention is to
make this the last time that will happen.
< / p >
< p >
To advance the definition of Ant, user requirements are now being accepted on the
Ant-Dev mailing list. Any requirement will be accepted for consideration. The
requirements are being collected into a document which is available
2001-08-30 13:19:03 +00:00
< a href = "ant2/requested-features.txt" > on-line< / a > . New features will be excepted
2001-08-07 13:51:43 +00:00
until March 21st, 2001. At that time, each requirement will be discussed
for inclusion in an Ant 2.0 requirement document.
< / p >
< p >
For your reference some of the goals which have shaped the development of Ant 1.x are
2001-08-30 13:19:03 +00:00
available < a href = "ant2/original-specification.html" > here< / a > . These continue to be
2001-08-07 13:51:43 +00:00
relevant to Ant 2.0.
