[ANNOUNCE] Ant 1.6 Released!

Big news baby - the best Java tool in the world has a new release. I don't know that I'll use any of the new features (such as antlib, macrodef, presetdef, ssh tasks), but I do love to upgrade. Downloading now...

Later: It looks like Canoo's WebTest is not compatible with Ant 1.6. Reverting back to 1.5.4.

C:\Source\appfuse\test\web\web-tests.xml:29: Task must be of type "Step": invoke at 
C:\Source\appfuse\test\web\login.xml:1:  is of type org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement

Line 29 is: <canoo name="login">. I've notified the webtest mailing list, hopefully there will be a resolution shortly.

Matt, this may be an unrelated question, but how difficult is it to do every thing you do with ant on struts-resume with maven, or atleast the basic things like running hibernate doclet and such. Or running sql tasks. Also if i have an existing buil.xml can i call those through maven as goals. Thank you.

Migrating to Maven with AppFuse/Struts Resume is difficult enough that I've tried 3 times and never been able to do it. The last time, I decided that Ant was better than Maven. I like the current system because almost everyone has Ant installed (larger audience) and it's more flexible. The build.xml file in AppFuse is based on one from Erik Hatcher's Java Development with Ant, so it's based on good stuff and works great for me. I also like that I can grab file from my wiki for the documentation. At this point, I don't feel that Maven has anything to offer me that I don't already have. For multiple project dependency management with AppFuse, you can simply "mv lib .." and change properties.xml to refer to it.

I do like Maven, and it is used on Struts Menu and the DisplayTag.

Of course, if you'd like to attempt to make a Mavenized version of Struts Resume, please feel free. Just be aware that I've tried it a few times and failed.
