I've installed /shared/common/apache-ant-1.9.6 on the Mac and also created a symlink /shared/common/apache-ant-latest -> /shared/common/apache-ant-1.9.6. The shared instance is properly configured to use this symlink. As you export ANT_HOME by yourself, I suggest you change it to 1.9.6 or latest. > > Similar for Windows, but there we rely on Hudson's drop down box which says > only > apache-ant-latest > > But with some variable we printout for diagnostics, it appears that "latest" > on Windows is 1.8.3! > > ant.home=C\:\\Program Files\\apache-ant-1.8.3\\bin\\.. > > We would like to just be consistent and use the same version, 1.9.6, in all > locations. I've installed Ant 1.9.6 on the Windows machine and configured the shared instance to use it as "apache-ant-latest". Thank you. |
