Include ANT in CVS?
I suggest you include ant in the CVS. I believe this is a common
practice for Jakarta projects.

Actually I believe the Xalan and/or Xerces group bundle Ant because they
want to allow easy modifications of the codebase by savvy developers
avoiding the configuration issues needed to install Ant and get it all set
up properly to build their systems.
But in general, I am not for bundling Ant with projects either since its
something we all should have installed separately anyway.

Carrying binaries in a Jakarta CVS is strongly discouraged. Bundling the
Ant binary would definately raise eyebrows. Most products include Ant
build script, but I doubt that any include the Ant binary. If they do,
they should stop.
There are ongoing discussions of hosting some type of distribution
program so people can easily obtain the latest binary JARs of things
(CJAN), but at this time the universal recommendation would be for
people to download and install something like Ant separately.
At one time, Turbine offered a development kit that bundle various
related things together, but I don't think even that included Ant.
