If maven can do the filtering to help create the source branches /
tags, that could eliminate the need to run Ant separately; but there
is also a nice feature of the Ant build that makes testing easier -
it can detect JDK levels and filter dynamically, so you can get all
of them working before you start splitting things out. A key thing
we have to remember is that for each version, we need a tag that
corresponds exactly to what is released in that version and the
source in that tag has to build using the target JDK.
Are you guys OK with me plowing forward with the setup I described
yesterday - basically extending the Ant filtering - or should I hold
off creating the 1.5 branch and adding the filter tags?
