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