remove ant from ofbiz
Hi community,
the version of Ant distributed with ofbiz is pretty old and has some
disadvantages:
1. does not support the failonerror="true" on te <patch command
2. difficult command line when using apply-ofbiz-patches:
../../ant apply-ofbiz-patches
i tested using the ant version 1.8.2 and it seems to work fine.....
why not remove it and use the standard ant install?
could still have the ant command to redirect to the external ant
opinions please?
regards,
Hans

I would also prefer to add upgrade the embedded version. That make it
much easier for the user, he haven't to deal with a local ant
installation, that properly causes compatibility issues if the wrong
ant version is installed on the user machine...
But +1 for upgrading!

Looks like the best way also because Ubuntu 10.04 LTS by default
installs ant 1.7 while 1.8 is needed.
Lets see what we can do here....

Hi Hans,
what I don't like is that this will add a new system requirement for the user.
Why not upgrading the embedded version instead?
