AntXtras + Ant 1.8 (unhappy duo apparently)

[Wascally Wabbit <wa...@earthling.net>]

Hi all--

A message for Matt:

I believe you've been trying to contact re some changes
to Ant 1.8, PropertyHelper, and possible (negative)
impact to antxtras.sf.net.

Sorry I've been nose-to-the-grindstone for several months
and haven't really been paying much attention to ant-dev.
Last I recall there was some rumblings about redoing bits
of PropertyHelper...but nothing had begun.

Could you send me a "backlink" to the possible
incompatibilities and/or the breaking changes to the
current Ant code?

I see there already some issues posted against an Ant
nightly build like:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45858

-Thanks,
The Wabbit

Thank you,

I'll start doing just this...juuust as soon as I figure out
how to build the repository code into a binary distro ;-)

I'm afraid there hasn't been too much discussion on the list (the best
I can find is <http://marc.info/?t=118181653000007&r=1&w=2> and you've
been involved) but most simply happened in code.

The most relevant changes are related to bugzilla issue 42736
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42736> and have
been committed in svn revision 554394
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?diff_format=h&view=rev&revision=554394>
- most later changes have been refinements and I'm afraid you'll have
to walk through the svn log of PropertyHelper and maybe other classes
to find the rationles behind them.
