Dan Rollo updated MNGSITE-147:
------------------------------
Attachment: MNGSITE-147_recommended_Ant_Version.patch
add recommended Ant version.
fix 'export M2_HOME' and 'ant ant' newline.
> guide-m2-development should state recommended version of Ant (eg: 1.7.1
> fails, and is still the default in some LTS distros).

> The "guide-m2-development" ("Guide to Developing Maven",
> "http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html";)
> section:
> "Don't forget tests!" does not mention a recommended version of Ant to use. I
> found the hard way that Ant version:
> Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on September 8 2010
> will fail with an error like:
> BUILD FAILED
> /home/dan/javadev/maven/maven-3/trunk/build.xml:228: Syntax error in
> property: ${
> There is a bug in Ant that is apparently fixed in Ant 1.8+.
> (see: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.turbine.maven.devel/98115 )
> Ant 1.7.1 was the default in my linux environment (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), and I
> expect others might hit this same bug and not be so lucky in searching for a
> cause/solution.
> I will attach a doc patch that recommends Ant 1.8+.
> (I tried to find a way to verify the Ant version in the build.xml, but
> couldn't find a way that was not coupled to known versions).
> Also (and sorry to overload this report with another issue), I think the
> current guide-m2-development.apt in subversion includes another error:
> The 'ant all' command was moved up to the same line that sets the M2_HOME env
> var. Also, that M2_HOME env var line is missing the export command. The patch
> fixes these as well.
