Just an update on this ant 1.8.0 and make 3.81 issue.
I will try and move forward on the make 3.81 change, but the ant 1.8.0
one is a problem.
We will try and find another way around the package-info.java issues
in ant 1.7.1.
I had assumed this would be an easy ant upgrade, but obviously it is
not.
The fixes in ant 1.8.0 for the most part seem correct, and other than
the false
'exit code' running 'ant -diagnostics', I don't know of any major
flaws in 1.8.0.
However, I'm seeing various ant scripts failing, and most appear to be
just
incorrect ant syntax, or some loophole closed by a valid fix in ant
1.8.0.
None of these questionable ant scripts are in OpenJDK as far as I
know, however
it makes me think that upgrading now is the wrong thing to do.
Once ant 1.8.0 becomes more available we can re-visit this, or there
is always
ant 1.8.1.
