[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6592) Update the version of ant which we tell new developers to use.

["Kim Haase (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Kim Haase commented on DERBY-6592:
----------------------------------

I just found another out-of-date link on the DITA page, http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/dita.html. The 5th bullet links to a chapter in the 1.1 version of the Subversion docs -- which are now up to version 1.7. It might be better to make the link go to the top-level http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ and make the text more precise: "more information is in the Properties section of the Subversion documentation". The section has moved from Chapter 7 to Chapter 3 over the years, and may continue to migrate.

> The top level BUILDING.html page tells users to grab ant version 1.7.0 or higher. I don't know whether that version still works. I have been using version 1.9.2 for a long time. I see no harm in changing the instructions to tell new developers to grab ant version 1.9.2. I think it's a good idea to update these instructions regularly.
