  360. Antidote Retired
  361. </h3>
  362. <h3>April 4th, 2005 - The Apache Ant Project Retires Antidote, the
  363. Ant GUI</h3>
  364. <p>The Antidote subproject was once started to provide a GUI for
  365. Ant at a time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable.
  366. Unfortunately it never attracted a developer community of its
  367. own.</p>
  368. <p>At the same time IDE support for Ant has become ubiquitous by
  369. now and there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant. This
  370. makes it even less likely that volunteers will start to spend time
  371. working on it.</p>
  372. <p>Antidote's development has been stalled for years now, despite
  373. some efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers. Therefore the
  374. Ant developers have chosen to retire Antidote.</p>
  375. <p>Antidote will no longer be developed by the Ant project; its
  376. CVS module will be shut down.</p>
  377. <p>If you are interested in Antidote's sources to learn from or
  378. build on it, you can find snapshots at <a href="http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/">http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/</a>.</p>

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

  429. <p>Ant 1.6.0 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support
  430. for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that
  431. makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks.
