--------------------------------------

Related but not exactly on-topic:

I've been able to run the smoketester on official 4.x and 5.x release 
candidates despite having the wrong version of ant, which initially confused 
me, because nightly-smoke fails for me.  I'm wondering if perhaps the 
smoketester should verify that the tester's ant version also matches the 
official requirement.  Is ant sufficiently removed from smoketester operation 
that it can't impact the validity of the test?

I've realized that testing release candidates works for me because the explicit 
ant version comparison is only checked in the release artifacts.  The official 
RC builds are built with the correct ant version.  The information found in the 
artifacts is correct, even though *my* version of ant doesn't match.  When I 
run nightly-smoke, I am building the artifacts locally, and the comparison 
fails.

> In trunk, I think we should upgrade the ant requirement to 1.9, both for the 
> main build and for the smoketester.  Ant 1.9 was released two years ago and 
> the ant version packaged with Ubuntu 14 is 1.9.3.  I'm not sure what comes 
> with recent versions of Redhat systems and their derivatives, but the way 
> that Redhat packages ant is completely incompatible with our build system 
> anyway, requiring a manual install.
