Hi,
Just somenews for us all - apparently Sun is participating in the
development of Ant ;)
http://sunsource.net/
Cheers,

Well, they are promoting it and that is fine with me 8-)
The site you quote directly links over to jakarta and they even have

with a link to antnews.html in the "Product Updates" section. So far I
like what they do.

No point. Just found it curious.

Where does it say that?
It says that they are involved in the project...
"Open Source projects Sun is involved in"
Which, given that they originally funded the development of Ant and also
donated it to us, I would say is a perfectly valid statement.
What is your point?
