The update to Ant 1.6.2 introduces the following changes which may break older environments, according to the 1.6.2 release notes:

  • The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
  • ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
  • All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task.
  • Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.
  • will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1.
