Ryan Ernst commented on LUCENE-6739:
------------------------------------

> people using MacOSX would have problems (build would not run as MacOSX 
> bundles 1.8.2 by default). This is exactly the reason why we use 1.8.2 as 
> minimum by default.

Since OS X Yosemite, ant is no longer bundled with OS X. You now must use 
homebrew or other similar package manager to install ant, and the default is 
the latest. For example, I installed using {{brew install ant}} and have 
version 1.9.4.

> Upgrade ant requirement to 1.9 in trunk (6.0)

> 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.
