Fwd: [ANNOUNCEMENT][NET] jakarta-commons/net 1.2 Released
Those Ant users (of version 1.6.0 or above) who use or who would like to use the task against non-unix ftp servers but have found it to fail there should replace the existing version of commons-net.jar on their Ant classpath with this one. It can autodetect the type of server it is accessing and react accordingly. The only other requirement is that a version of jakarta-oro.jar > 2.0.1 also be on the classpath, but this has been the case since the release of ant 1.6.0 for using the ftp task.--- Begin Message --- The Jakarta Commons team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.2.0 of the Jakarta Commons/Net component. Commons/Net is an Internet protocol suite Java library which supports Finger, Whois, TFTP, Telnet, POP3, FTP, NNTP, SMTP, and some miscellaneous protocols like Time and Echo as well as BSD R command support. This release adds, for the first time, autodetection of FTP server type when retrieving an FTP listing so that non-unix FTP servers can automatically provide usable listings with valid dates, etc. Server types supported in this are Windows NT, OS2, VMS, OS400. Formerly only unix was supported in this way. This enables its automatic use in Ant's FTP task, for example, for these server types as well as the original unix.

I wouldn't know exactly which text you'd want to change and I certainly wouldn't know what to change it to.

Fwd: [ANNOUNCEMENT][NET] jakarta-commons/net 1.2 Released
With the release of jakarta-commons/net 1.2, I would like to propose that Ant update its use of commons/net to use this new version in time for the next version which I see is being discussed. Doing so should greatly reduce the incidence of complaints about the FTP task when run against non-unix servers. 1.2 automatically detects the server type, recognizing, in addition to unix, which was supported in all previous versions, NT, OS2, VMS and OS400 servers. This functionality will work out of the box if this version of commons-net is used. I will also be preparing a patch that would enable parsers that cannot be autodetected, including user-developed FTP list parsers, to be plugged into the ant task. There is also some verbiage under the FTP task that should be changed to reflect this.--- Begin Message --- The Jakarta Commons team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.2.0 of the Jakarta Commons/Net component.
