+ <h3>April 4th, 2005 - The Apache Ant Project Retires
Antidote, the
+ Ant GUI</h3>
+ <p>The Antidote subproject was once started
to provide a GUI for
+ Ant at a time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable.
+ Unfortunately it never attracted a developer community of its
+ own.</p>
+ <p>At the same time IDE support for Ant has
become ubiquitous by
+ now and there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant. This
+ makes it even less likely that volunteers will start to spend time
+ working on it.</p>
+ <p>Antidote's development has been stalled
for years now, despite
+ some efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers. Therefore the
+ Ant developers have chosen to retire Antidote.</p>
+ <p>Antidote will no longer be developed by
the Ant project; its
+ CVS module will be shut down.</p>
+ <p>If you are interested in Antidote's
sources to learn from or
+ build on it, you can find snapshots at <a
href="http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/";>http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/</a>.</p>
