So you propose an Antidote release *after* the Ant release, right?

FYI, I still cannot build Antidote using jikes for some strange
reasons and there still seem to be dependencies on com.sun classes of
parser.jar (at least the build process still wants to compile classes
that depend on them).  This is what I get after a clean checkout with
current CVS Ant:


    [javac] /home/bodewig/jakarta/jakarta-ant-antidote/src/java/org/apache/tools/ant/gui/xml/dtd/ANTDocumentType.java:565:27:565:36: Caution: Ambiguous reference to member named "getClass" inherited from type "java/lang/Object" but also declared or inherited in the enclosing type "org/apache/tools/ant/gui/xml/dtd/ANTDocumentType".

should be easy to fix (even I could do it 8-)

These are things I'm concerned of.

Strange jikes behavior - I have no idea why jikes thinks the package
scope class AppContext in javax.swing would be accessible here.  Could
be fixed easily as well.

What do you think about GUMPifying Antidote?  Shouldn't be that hard
(and I'd volunteer to help with that as soon as I manage to compile
Antodote, that is 8-)

Absolutely should be done. We could get nightly builds happening at the same
time (assuming there isn't a solution already).
