Upgrading Ant

Ant 1.6.1 is provided with this product. If you need functionality from a different version of Ant, you can download and install an updated version.

CAUTION:

If you change your Ant version, you have changed your installation of the workbench, and it will no longer be a supported environment. Although everything should still work as before, unexpected results may occur. If you are familiar with developing plug-ins and understand how they are used during startup, you can create a new plug-in directory with a higher version number and a higher version number in its plugin.xml, and you can leave the existing directory as is.

1. Go to the Jakarta Apache Web site and download the Ant binary distribution that you want.

2. In the org.eclipse.ant.core plugin directory (underneath where you installed the workbench), rename the existing Ant JAR files and drop in your new JAR files. If any JAR has a different name edit the plugin.xml file in org.eclipse.ant.core accordingly.

3. Restart the workbench and your new version of Ant will be active.
