  338. </h3>
  339. <h3>April 4th, 2005 - The Apache Ant Project Retires Antidote, the
  340. Ant GUI</h3>
  341. <p>The Antidote subproject was once started to provide a GUI for
  342. Ant at a time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable.
  343. Unfortunately it never attracted a developer community of its
  344. own.</p>
  345. <p>At the same time IDE support for Ant has become ubiquitous by
  346. now and there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant. This
  347. makes it even less likely that volunteers will start to spend time
  348. working on it.</p>
  349. <p>Antidote's development has been stalled for years now, despite
  350. some efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers. Therefore the
  351. Ant developers have chosen to retire Antidote.</p>
  352. <p>Antidote will no longer be developed by the Ant project; its
  353. CVS module will be shut down.</p>
  354. <p>If you are interested in Antidote's sources to learn from or
  355. build on it, you can find snapshots at <a href="http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/">http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/</a>.</p>

  362. <p>Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the
  363. Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.</p>
  364. <p>All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a
  365. buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task.</p>
  366. <p>Ant 1.6.2 fixes a large number of bugs and adds a number of
  367. features which were asked for by users on Bugzilla.</p>

  403. <p>As
  404. we've already said in the announcements of Ant 1.5.4, this release
  405. requires JDK 1.2 or later to run.</p>
  406. <p>Ant 1.6.0 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support
  407. for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that
  408. makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks.
  409. For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release
  410. notes.</p>
