I'd like to keep the javacc output in the source tree.
It's important we keep the build process simple and barriers as low as
possible. Lots of people download the source and compile it. Requiring
javacc in addition to ant and the JDK is too much.
I'll update the docs to list an ant 1.5 dependency. I don't think we need a
vote on this, we discussed it about 6 months ago in the context of Texen.

I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to actually remove the
machine built files from the source tree and just rebuild them on the
fly when generating the jar.
There are sometimes users that patch these files and then we have to
tell them that they should look at the source files to put their patch
in.
I'm +1 for moving to ant 1.5 as minimum dependency, +0 for 1.6

Hi,
Anyone mind if I apply the patch from Velocity-222?
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-222
It adds a Javacc task to ant. The catch is that it requires ant 1.6 to =
work (and we state in the web site that ant 1.3 is the min requirement). =
But it doesn't take away any functionality from earlier users of ant -- =
it just adds a "parser" task if javacc is available (there's dependency =
checking and a warning message if you try to use it with an earlier =
version of ant).
I'm starting to tweak the syntax files of Velocity - this patch would be =
a help.
Best,
WILL
