- update to version 1.7.0
major changes are (for a complete list, consult /usr/share/doc/packages/ant/WHATSNEW):
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Initial support for JDK 6 (JSR 223) scripting.
<*script*> tasks will now use javax.scripting if BSF is
not available, or if explicitly requested by using
a "manager" attribute.
* The -noproxy option which was in the previous 1.7 alpha and beta
releases has been removed. It is the default behavior and not needed.
* Removed launcher classes from nodeps jar.
* <classconstants> filter reader uses ISO-8859-1 encoding to read
the java class file. Bugzilla report 33604.
* Defer reference process. Bugzilla 36955, 34458, 37688.
This may break build files in which a reference was set in a target which was
never executed. Historically, Ant would set the reference early on, during parse
time, so the datatype would be defined. Now it requires the reference to have
been in a bit of the build file which was actually executed. If you get
an error about an undefined reference, locate the reference and move it somewhere
where it is used, or fix the depends attribute of the target in question to
depend on the target which defines the reference/datatype.
* <script> and <scriptdef> now set the current thread context.
* Unrestrict the dbvendor names in the websphere element of the ejbjar task.
Bugzilla Report 40475.
* <env> nested element in <java>, <exec> and others is now case-insensitive
for windows OS. Bugzilla Report 28874.
* Removed support for xalan1 completely. Users of Xalan1 for Ant builds will
have to stay at ant 1.6.5 or upgrade to xalan2.
* Use org.apache.log4j.Logger instead of org.apache.log4j.Category.
Category has been deprecated for ~2 years and has been removed from
the log4j code. Logger was introduced in log4j 1.2 so users of
log4j 1.1 and log4j 1.0 need to upgrade to a newer version of log4j.
Bugzilla Report 31951.
* build.sysclasspath now also affects the bootclasspath handling of
spawned Java VMs. If you set build.sysclasspath to anything other
than "ignore" (or leave it unset, since "ignore" is the default when
it comes to bootclasspath handling), then the bootclasspath of the
VM running Ant will be added to the bootclasspath you've specified.
* The <java fork="false"> now as per default installs a security manager
using the default permissions. This is now independent of the
failonerror attribute. Bugzilla report 33361.
* <signjar> now notices when the jar and signedjar are equal, and switches
to the same dependency logic as when signedjar is omitted. This may break
something that depended upon signing in this situation. However, since
invoking the JDK jarsigner program with -signedjar set to the source jar
actually crashes the JVM on our (Java1.5) systems, we don't think any
build files which actually worked will be affected by the change.
* <signjar> used to ignore a nested fileset when a jar was also provided as an
attribute, printing a warning message; now it signs files in the fileset.
* An improved method of handling timestamp granularity differences between
client and server was added to the <ftp> task. FTP servers typically
have HH:mm timestamps whereas local filesystems have HH:mm:ss timestamps.
Previously, this required tweaking with the timediffmillis attribute
which also was used to handle timezone differences. Now, there is a new
timestampgranularity attribute. The default value for get operations is 0
since the user has the more powerful preservelastmodified attribute to work
with. Since this is not available on put operations the default value
adds a minute to the server timestamp in order to account for this,
Scripts which previously used timediffmillis to do this compensation may
need to be rewritten. timediffmillis has now been deprecated.
* On Java1.5+, Ant automatically sets the system property
java.net.useSystemProxies to true, which gives it automatic use of the local
IE (Windows) or Gnome2 (Unix/Linux) proxy settings. This may break any build
file that somehow relied on content outside the firewall being unreachable:
use the -noproxy command-line option to disable this new feature.
Note that the Java1.5 proxy configuration system still does not
appear to work reliably on Windows or Linux.
* Support for the XSL:P XML parser has been removed.
Bugzilla Report 23455.
* Visual Age for Java optional tasks removed.
* Testlet (test) optional task removed.
* Icontract optional task removed.
* Metamata (maudit, mmetrics, and mparse tasks) removed.
* Sitraka (jpcoverage, jpcovmerge, jpcovreport) tasks suppressed.
* <fixcrlf> used \r (Mac) line endings on OS X, whose proper line separator
is \n (Unix). Bugzilla report 39585.
* <scp> now optionally supports the sftp protocol, you may need a
newer jsch.jar. Bugzilla Report 39373.
* Ant launcher program prints errors to stderr, and exits with a 2 exit code
value if, for any reason, it cannot actually start Ant proper. This will only
affect programs/scripts that called the launcher and which did not want to
receive an error if Ant itself would not start
* All .NET tasks are now deprecated in favor of the new .NET Antlib:
