I still think that ant should stop depending on jython and antlr, since that's a policy violation (depends on non-necessary packages) and bringsI agree with the first part, but not the second (i.e. IMHO it's not a Policy violation). But the latest Ant package (uploaded yesterday) does not depend on them any longer. If you start Ant with the launcher, all tasks in /usr/share/ant/lib will be included automatically but you might still need to add additional classes to run these tasks (e.g. junit.jar) to your classpath. That's now the same way as upstream handles it.
Great! No need to argue on policy interpretation, then ;-)
no real benefit. Is there more to discuss about this, or should I just file a bug report?You can file one, but I'll immediately close it. ;-)
It happened so fast the bug did not even get a number ;-) Daniel
