AW: Way for buildfile to verify that Ant version is 1.5.2 or grea ter ?

[Ja...@rzf.fin-nrw.de]

A non usual way is checking for the existing of special classes.
So you 'only' have to check which classes were added in a release and
you could check for them.

Alternativly I can send two scriptdef´s I wrote in that area.
"checkAnt" parses the ${ant.version} string and stores additional
information
(compile date - useful if you work with cvs-versions).
"needAnt" executes a <fail> if the actual version is lower than a required
one.

It might help to have a concrete example ;-)

<available property="Ant-1.5.2-or-later"
           classname="org.apache.tools.ant.types.ResourceFactory"/>
<fail message="You must use Ant 1.5.2 or later"
      unless="Ant-1.5.2-or-later"/>
