Build Identifier: Irrelevant Hi #340422 has been fixed now, but as far as I can tell we will not see it until 3.7, so I was wondering if we should backport it to e-b and then migrate to ant 1.8.2. ~Niels Reproducible: Always
Latest Fedora ships with Ant 1.8.2 if Debian does that too I would say let's backport it.
I am okay with bumping to ant 1.8.2 already now even though Debian does not have it (I suspect Ubuntu does not either). It is less of a headache for me to upgrade ant before finishing eclipse 3.6 than the other way around. ~Niels
Another patch that removes ant-nodeps and ant-trax has been merged resulting into eclipse-build mandating Ant 1.8.2 usage.

Done. Niels, please backport whatever you think is relevant.
Created attachment 195581 [details] Backported ant 1.8.2 support Upstreams on patch applied almost cleanly against the 3.6.2 tarball we currently link to from [1] after I had split it properly, so I decided to use it mostly as is. I had to pull a newer version of AntModelProject from upstream vcs to make it work properly though. The patch is created against the master branch of eclipse-build (2edc608 at the time of writing). ~Niels [1] http://download.eclipse.org/technology/linuxtools/eclipse-build/
Alex, are you okay with Niels' proposed patch?
Well, assuming that we are not going to make new e-b release based on 3.6.2 tarball we should not need this patch anymore.
I'm sure some distributions will continue to ship 3.6.x for a while yet so we should try to maintain things as best as we can. At least for bug fix patches as necessary.
Actually I suspect we need a revised patch here, if any. As I recall it is missing an import statement in one of the files it patches (and the build does not fail because the bloody build system ignores build failures!). I got the fixed patch on another machine, so I cannot attach it here. That being said this patch does not fix add real editor support for ant 1.8.2 (e.g. the editor still gives errors with use of "Extends" targets). I have subscribed to another bug for that (cannot remember the ID at the moment), but no news so far. ~Niels
Was this backported?
I don't think so. I don't see it on the 3.6 branch.
Closing as we are not going to do 3.6 releases anymore
