Merged Ant 1.6.3. Ant 1.6.2 introduced the —noconfig option, which is
handy for building on platforms that already have ant installed and thus
probably have an ant.conf file that needs to be ignored by the Juggler
build. People are still building VR Juggler from this branch, and this
little effort should be helpful to them.

    1 Changes from Ant 1.6.0 to Ant 1.6.1 
     1Changes from Ant 1.6.2 to Ant 1.6.3 
    22=================================== 
    33 
    …… 
    55-------------------------------------------- 
    66 
     7* The subant task used the canonical version of a file path. This 
     8  has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 30438. 
     9 
     10* Tar now writes two EOF blocks rather than one. 
     11  Bugzilla report 28776 
     12 
     13* The Reference object now has a project field which it uses in preference 
     14  to the project passed in. This allows composite references to be 
     15  handled to nested projects. 
     16  Bugzilla report 25777 
     17 
     18* <junit> with filtertrace="true" will now also swallow lines for the 
     19  sun.reflect package.  If you need to see them in your stack trace, 
     20  you must set filtertrace to false. 
     21  Bugzilla Report 22758 
     22 
     23* The jikes compiler adapter now supports -bootclasspath, -extdirs and 
     24  -sourcepath and also uses the same logic for debug flags as javac. 
     25  This means, the jikes compiler adapter now requires Jikes 1.15 or later. 
     26  Bugzilla Reports 25868, 26404 and 32609. 
     27 
     28* Targets with identical name work in imported project. Bugzilla Report 34566. 
     29 
     30* The gcj compiler adapter used to include the Java runtime classes 
     31  even if includeJavaRuntime was set to false, unless the 
     32  bootclasspath has been specified as well.  It will now always adhere 
     33  to includeJavaRuntime, you may need to set it to true explicitly now 
     34  if you relied on the old behavior. 
     35 
     36Other changes: 
     37-------------- 
     38 
     39* <javadoc> can now take an attribute 'executable'. Bugzilla report 30606. 
     40 
     41* New attribute ignorecontents for <different> selector 
     42 
     43* Javadoc fixes for Location, Project, and RuntimeConfigurable 
     44  Bugzilla 30160. 
     45 
     46* Enable to choose the regexp implementation without system property. 
     47  Bugzilla Report 15390. 
     48 
     49* Expose objects and methods in IntrospectionHelper. Bugzilla Report 30794. 
     50 
     51* Allow file attribute of <move> to rename a directory. 
     52  Bugzilla Report 22863. 
     53 
     54* Add xmlcatalog nested element to XmlProperty. Bugzilla report 27053. 
     55 
     56* New attribute alwayslog for <redirector> type. 
     57 
     58* Added <target> nested elements to <ant> and <antcall> to allow 
     59  specification of multiple sub-build targets, which are executed 
     60  with a single dependency analysis. 
     61 
     62* Refactored Target invocation into org.apache.tools.ant.Executor 
     63  implementations.  Bugzilla Reports 21421, 29248. 
     64 
     65* <rmic> now also supports Kaffe's rmic version shipping with Kaffe 
     66  1.1.2 and above. 
     67 
     68* added casesensitive attribute to <globmapper> and <regexpmapper> 
     69  Bugzilla report 16686 
     70 
     71* added handledirsep attribute to <globmapper> and <regexpmapper> 
     72  Bugzilla report 32487 
     73 
     74* added a new mapper <filtermapper> 
     75 
     76* When a BuildListener tried to access System.err or System.out, Ant 
     77  would have thrown an exception - this has been changed.  Ant now 
     78  silently ignores the message.  BuildListeners still should avoid 
     79  accessing either stream. 
     80 
     81* Added a comment attribute to the zip task. 
     82  Bugzilla report 22793. 
     83 
     84* Overloaded FileUtils.createNewFile with a boolean mkdirs attribute 
     85  to create nonexistent parent directories. 
     86 
     87* <apply> has a new "force" attribute that, when true, disables 
     88  checking of target files. 
     89 
     90* Made the dest attribute of the apply task optional; mapped target 
     91  filenames will be interpreted as absolute pathnames when dest is omitted. 
     92 
     93* Changed default tempdir for <javac> from user.dir to java.io.tmpdir. 
     94 
     95* Added searchpath attribute to <exec> for searching path variable(s) 
     96  when resolveexecutable = true. 
     97 
     98* Added revision and userid attributes to <pvcs> documentation. 
     99 
     100* Added support to the touch task for a mkdirs attribute to create 
     101  nonexistent parent directories before touching new files. 
     102 
     103* Added support to the touch task for a pattern attribute to allow 
     104  alternate datetime formats. 
     105 
     106* Added support to the touch task to map touched files using a nested 
     107  mapper element. 
     108 
     109* Added support to the touch task for a verbose attribute to suppress 
     110  logging of new file creation. 
     111 
     112* bad link in docs to the enhancement page in bugzilla. 
     113  Bugzilla report 33252. 
     114 
     115* Added length task to get strings' and files' lengths. 
     116 
     117* <native2ascii> and <javah> now also support Kaffe's versions. 
     118 
     119* Recursive token expansion in a filterset can now be disabled by 
     120  setting its recurse attribute to false. 
     121 
     122* Pathconvert no longer requires that one of (targetos|pathsep|dirsep) 
     123  be set; platform defaults are used when this is the case. 
     124 
     125* Added preservelastmodified attribute to fixcrlf task. Bugzilla 25770. 
     126 
     127* Added isfileselected condition. 
     128 
     129* Added verbose="true|false" attribute to <subant>. When verbose is enabled, 
     130  the directory name is logged on entry and exit of the sub-build. Bugzilla 33787. 
     131 
     132* Added -nouserlib option to allow running ant without automatically loading 
     133  up ${user.home}/.lib/ant. This is useful when compiling ant, and antlibs. 
     134  Modified the build.sh and build.bat to use the option. 
     135 
     136* Added -noclasspath option to allow running ant WITHOUT using CLASSPATH env 
     137  variable. Modified ant.bat to do this so that %CLASSPATH% is not looked at. 
     138 
     139* Add else attribute to the condition task, which specifies an 
     140  optional alternate value to set the property to if the nested 
     141  condition evaluates to false. Bugzilla report 33074. 
     142 
     143* Ant generated jar files should now be detected as jar files by 
     144  Solaris.  Bugzilla Report 32649. 
     145 
     146* Added two tutorials 
     147  - beginner: introduction into Ant 
     148  - task developers: using path, fileset etc 
     149 
     150* <rpm> has new attributes failonerror and quiet. 
     151

     158* Killing a thread running <java fork="true"> (e.g. from an IDE) would 
     159  not stop the forked process. Bugzilla 31928. 
     160 
     161* Programs run with <java fork="true"> can now accept standard input 
     162  from the Ant console.  (Programs run with <java fork="false"> could

     164 
     165* AbstractCvsTask prematurely closed its outputStream and errorStream. 
     166  Bugzilla 30097.

     171 
     172* MacroInstance did not clean up nested elements correctly in the execute

     184  chosen. Bugzilla 32802. 
     185

     187 
     188* Manual page for cvsversion contained incorrect attributes and did not 
     189  say since 1.6.1. Bugzilla 31408.

     254  e.g. ${basedir}${file.separator}${basedir}${file.separator}foo . 
     255 
     256* The first file open that took place when using input files with the 
     257  <exec>, <apply>, or <java> tasks was always logged to System.out 
     258  instead of to the managing Task. 
     259

     305 
     306* The refid attribute of the I/O redirector was not functional. 
     307 
     308* SQL task would try access result sets of statements that didn't 
     309  return any, causing problems with Informix IDS 9.2 and IBM DB2 8.1

     319Changes from Ant 1.6.1 to Ant 1.6.2 
     320=================================== 
     321 
     322Changes that could break older environments: 
     323-------------------------------------------- 
     324 
     325* The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This 
     326  has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505. 
     327 
     328* ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it 
     329  didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all.  Its sole dependency has always 
     330  been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar. 
     331 
     332* All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception 
     333  giving the location in the buildfile of the task. 
     334 
     335* Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the 
     336  Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace. 
     337 
     338* <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1. 
     339 
     340  Note that Xalan-J 1 has been deprecated for a very long time and we 
     341  highly recommend that you upgrade. 
     342 
     343  If you really need to continue using Xalan-J 1, please copy the 
     344  junit-frames-xalan1.xsl from the distribution's etc directory as 
     345  junit-frames.xsl into a new directory and use the task's styledir 
     346  attribute to point to.  This is the last version of the XSLT 
     347  stylesheet that is expected to be compatible with Xalan-J 1. 
     348 
     349* <csc>'s extraoptions can now contain multiple arguments. 
     350  Bugzilla Report 23599. 
     351 
     352* <macrodef> with default values set by properties would be 
     353  seen as new definitions when called twice with different properties. 
     354  This was confusing so the definitions are now treated as similar. 
     355  Bugzilla Report 31215. 
     356 
     357* <javadoc> has a new attribute "includenosourcepackages" that can be 
     358  used to document packages that don't hold source files but a 
     359  package.html file.  Bugzilla Report 25339. 
     360 
     361Fixed bugs: 
     362----------- 
     363 
     364* eliminate memory leak in AntClassLoader. Bugzilla Report 8689. 
     365 
     366* subant haltonfailure=false did not catch all failures. Bugzilla Report 27007. 
     367 
     368* macrodef @@ escaping was broken.  Bugzilla Report 27069. 
     369 
     370* SQL task did not work with Informix IDS 9.2. Bugzilla Report 27162. 
     371 
     372* MacroDef did not allow attributes named 'description'. Bugzilla Report 27175. 
     373 
     374* Throw build exception if name attribute missing from patternset#NameEntry. 
     375  Bugzilla Report 25982. 
     376 
     377* Throw build exception if target repeated in build file, but allow targets 
     378  to be repeated in imported files.  
     379 
     380* <apply> didn't compare timestamps of source and targetfiles when 
     381  using a nested <filelist>.  Bugzilla Report 26985. 
     382 
     383* tagdiff.xml was broken in ant 1.6.1. Bugzilla Report 27057. 
     384 
     385* if the basedir contained .. or . dirs, and the build file name contained 
     386  .. or ., the basedir was set incorrectly. Bugzilla Report 26765. 
     387 
     388* regression from ant 1.5, exec task outputted two redundant trailing newlines. 
     389  Bugzilla Report 27546. 
     390 
     391* NPE when running commons listener. Bugzilla Report 27373. 
     392 
     393* <java> swallowed the stack trace of exceptions thrown by the 
     394  executed program if run in the same VM. 
     395 
     396* -projecthelp swallowed (configuration) errors silently. 
     397  Bugzilla report 27732. 
     398 
     399* filterset used by filtertask doesn't respect loglevel. Bugzilla Report 27568. 
     400 
     401* wrong compare used in ProjectComponent for logging. Bugzilla Report 28070. 
     402 
     403* failOnAny attribute for <parallel> was broken. Bugzilla Report 28122. 
     404 
     405* If <javac> uses gcj and any of the nested <compilerarg>s implies 
     406  compilation to native code (like -o or --main), Ant will not pass

     555  introduced.  Additionally, the <mapper> element now accepts "defined"
