Butch,
It is impossible to know the full extent of Ant's install base, but I can
give you some numbers (Thanks to Craig), and some links which may give you
some feel for Ant's usage.
Check this link
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/
It shows the build results for a number of open source projects, all built
with Ant.
Ant has the third biggest mailing list size on Jakarta. The following are
the subscriber numbers for the top 3
dev user
ant 545 986
struts 695 1434
tomcat 1092 2250
As far as I can tell, there were about 21000 downloads of Ant 1.3 binary in
July and 23000 in June. Those figure cover just the binary downloads from
Ant's build area on jakarta.apache.org. I have no idea how many users may
share a download within an organization, nor where Ant may be mirrored, nor
how many projects may include Ant in the form of a jar, etc.
So we are averaging about 700 downloads a day for a 5 month old release.
