What is the base target version for ant development these days? Java 5?

It is java5, however, the ant jars need to be able to work gracefully in
a java1.3 and java1.4 env (i.e. support what can be supported).
James

and Java 1,3-compatible language features...it has to compile on older
versions. What we can do is have a directory of java6+ code that isnt
built on Java <6.
I do not think that the ability to compile ant on < java5 is necessary.

The reaon I think this is that the resultant output will not be a
complete ant product.


ooh, now there's an interesting thought. Java5+ only but test on Java 1.3, 1.4, 6.0, 6.4, harmony, java7...
