Ant1.4 requirement for tc3.3 ?

[cm...@yahoo.com]

Ant1.4 is the current release of jakarta-ant, and our build works fine
except 2 warnings ( deprecation in fixcrlf ).

However, if we update the task it'll fail on ant1.3 - so my proposal
is to keep it compatible with both ant1.3 and ant1.4, and accept 
the warnings if 1.4 is used.

Other opinions ? Larry ?

I assume that Ant 1.4 will work with < JDK 1.2? If not, then definitely 
leave the 3.3 build Ant 1.3 compatible.

If 1.4 does work with JDK 1.1, then I would be of a mind to update the 
task, eliminating the warnings, and just require 1.4. Since 3.3 hasn't 
gone gold yet, it's not like we're technically changing anything out 
from under anyone. If Ant 1.3 is throwing warnings, I cannot see a 
compelling reason to maintain compatibility with it.

Anyway, that's just my quick thought. If most want to maintain 
compatibility with Ant 1.3, I'm not going to lose sleep over it :)
