[ANN] The Apache Ant Project Retires Antidote, the Ant GUI

The Antidote subproject was once started to provide a GUI for Ant at a
time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable.  Unfortunately it
never attracted a developer community of its own.

At the same time IDE support for Ant has become ubiquitous by now and
there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant.  This makes it even
less likely that volunteers will start to spend time working on it.

Antidote's development has been stalled for years now, despite some
efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers.  Therefore the Ant
developers have chosen to retire Antidote.

Antidote will no longer be developed by the Ant project; its CVS
module will be shut down.

If you are interested in Antidote's sources to learn from or build on
it, you can find snapshots at
<http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/> or until rsync catches up at
<http://www.apache.org/ant/antidote/>.
