[VOTE] Remove commercial tasks from Ant
Ant supplies several tasks that require commercial software in order to
run. This is a problem because the Ant developers do not typically have
access to the commercial products required to test, maintain, and
enhance the tasks. It also means that users downloading the binary
edition of Ant end up with a lot of tasks that they cannot use.
In order to rectify this situation, I'm calling a vote on how to deal
with these unsupportable tasks. The vote is composed of two parts:
should we drop support for each of these tasks from the Ant release, and
should we establish the commercial tasks that have been dropped as
Antlibs in the sandbox.
1. Should the following commercial tasks be dropped from being
distributed with the Ant release?
[ ] Continuous/Synergy tasks: CCMCheckin, CCMCheckout,
CCMCheckinTask, CCMReconfigure, CCMCreateTask
[ ] Clearcase tasks: CCCheckin, CCCheckout, CCUnCheckout, CCUpdate,
CCMklbtype, CCMklabel, CCRmtype, CCLock, CCUnlock, CCMkbl, CCMkattr,
CCMkdir, CCMkelem
[ ] Perforce Tasks: P4Sync, P4Change, P4Edit, P4Submit, P4Have,
P4Label, P4Labelsync, P4Counter, P4Reopen, P4Revert, P4Add, P4Delete,
P4Integrate, P4Resolve, P4Fstat
[ ] PVCS
[ ] ServerDeploy, but only for the jonas and weblogic nested elements,
generic can stay where it is.
[ ] Source Offsite: sosget, soslabel, soscheckin, soscheckout
[ ] Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (already an Antlib)
2. Should the commercial tasks that are voted for dropping from Ant core
above be established in their own Antlibs in the sandbox?
[ ] +1 = Yes, establish one new Antlib in the sandbox for each task
dropped
-1 = No, just drop the commercial tasks altogether from Ant
Note that question 1 is a vote for code modification, so any -1 vote on
question 1 is considered a veto. Question 2 is just for guidance from
the community about whether there is a desire to keep the commercial
tasks around in Antlibs. Since any committer can create a sandbox Antlib
at any time, the vote is non-binding and any -1 vote just indicates that
the voter does not think that this is a good idea rather than being a veto.
Three or more +1 votes with no -1 votes are required for dropping any of
the commercial tasks. The vote will end in one week.

+0 For ServerDeploy. Putting each nested elements in a separate
antlib would give very small antlibs, and if you put all together into
a signle antlib It seems we should rather put the generic part into
this antlib also.
+1 for all others

+0 - it might be helpful to have an official spot where the last known good versions of these tasks could be hosted. In some cases I would hope the company producing the
commercial software would maintain their own Ant integrations.

How about adding that of course the customers can continue to use the

On behalf of the Apache Ant Project, I am writing to let you know that
the Ant development team has recently voted to remove all commercial
software tasks from future Ant releases, including tasks which support
your product []. This decision was made because the developers have
found it impossible to develop and maintain the tasks when they lack
access to the software that the tasks are designed to interact with.
We recognize that dropping these tasks will have a negative impact on
your customers. We therefore suggest that your organization take over
development, maintenance, and release of the code for these tasks. If
you do so we will provide a pointer on the Ant site indicating where
people can find these tasks on your web site, thereby easing the
transition for your customers.
If you are unable or unwilling to take over responsibility for these
tasks, we will try to move them into an unsupported Ant Library. How
long this will take is unknown, and the results are unlikely to work
correctly since we lack the ability to test them. It will be left to
your customers to try to figure out how to make the library work.
We plan to remove the tasks September 1st. Please let us know what your
intentions are prior to that date so that we can plan accordingly.
Thank you.

It seems that the buildfile of the Antlib-root [1] could help.
Not sure if it is uptodate ...

[RESULT][VOTE] Remove commercial tasks from Ant
Posted by Bruce Atherton <br...@callenish.com>.
The results of the vote are in. Both motions passed.
The motion to drop the commercial tasks from the binary release of Ant
had 13 +1 votes for almost all the commercial tasks, and no -1 votes.
The one exception was the Server Deploy subtasks, which Gilles voted +0
on, resulting in 12 +1 votes and 1 +0 vote. Stefan also expressed some
concern about the complexity of moving them to Antlibs. We should
probably discuss how to move these separately now that their removal has
been approved.
The motion to move the tasks into their own Antlibs had 10 +1 votes and
3 +0 votes with no -1 votes. This motion also passes.
Votes came from Stefan, Gilles, Jesse, Jan, Kevin, Dominique, Antoine,
Matt, Conor, myself, Peter, Martijn, and Maarten,
The next step I'd like to take is to contact all the companies that make
the commercial software whose tasks we are removing. With any luck some
of them will take over responsibility for the tasks. It will take me a
while to do this, though (I've just recently changed cities so my life
is in a bit of upheaval) so if anyone wants to help out, particularly if
they have connections in some of the organizations involved, please let
me know and we can coordinate things.
Once we have alerted the parties involved about the change, we can start
removing the tasks and creating new Antlibs in the sandbox. Are there
targets available anywhere to facilitate the creation of standard new
Antlibs?

Does the current Antlib mechanism allow us to distribute the nested
elements separately? Probably if we type/componentdef them, but it may
require some modifications to the serverdeploy task itself, I guess.
+1 to the intent and I'm willing to help making the move possible.
