I didn't realize there are Windows/Linux versions of 1.4.2_19 and older, I just looked at the later 1.4.2 versions and they are availabe for Solaris only. I may try to get the Linux version working on my machine. > Can you share the command to get the latest ant code? > I tried > svn co https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ant/core/trunk ant > svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/ant/trunk ant > (svn: Repository moved permanently to '/viewvc/ant/core/trunk/'; please > relocate) You may want to use https instead. We know Ant builds with 1.4 - we have a CI build that verifies build and test there. But if I create a release using, say, OpenJDK 1.6 it is possible javac resolves some method invocations to methods that are present in Java6 but not in 1.4. This is why the release process of Ant has been a staged process so far where you start with the lowest JDK needed to support, then compile the remaining classes with the next higher version and so on until you reach the highest version required by an optional task or type.
