The website shows the documentation that shipped with the latest
release.  Actually, I'm not sure this is a conscious choice.  Maybe
nobody has questioned this policy lately.

No, it doesn't.  I wouldn't be surprised if there were more bugs in some
of the more tutorial-like parts of the manual.  Those have been written
years ago and hardly get revisited if things change within Ant.

The tutorial as visible on the website should work with Ant 1.7.x but
spit out deprecation warnings.  It has been written pre-1.6.

Hi Stefan. Thanks for your reply.
I tell what the problem was. It's explained in the second link.
Sorry for not be too verbose.
I don't understand why you can't update there. So does the (bug) tutorial
run fine with Ant latest version?
I'm running Ant version 1.8.0

It would have helped if you told us what the problem was 8-)

The build file created during the tutorial relies on some old behavior
of Ant that elements with ids where available to be used with the
classpathref-attribute (and similar constructs) even if they lived in
targets that were not executed.  This behavior has been removed and
we've failed to adapt the tutorial.

This is fixed by extracting the <path> definition with id "application"
from inside the java task to a top-level-element (a sibbling of the path
with id "classpath").

The tutorial has been fixed in svn but the "wrong" version is still
available on the website as we show the manual of the latest release
there.  The fixed version is here:
<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/core/trunk/manual/tutorial-HelloWorldWithAnt.html>
