17.1. What Version Is Covered Here?

The examples in this chapter were developed and tested using Ant 1.6.5, downloadable from the Ant project site at Apache (http://ant.apache.org). Most of these examples should work with earlier versions of Ant, but in some cases modifications to the scripts will be necessary to make them backward-compatible, since some core tasks have changed from previous minor versions (1.5.x, 1.4.x), and the property-handling mechanism in Ant has also evolved somewhat from earlier versions. Wherever possible, we've highlighted aspects of the sample buildfiles that are specific to Ant 1.6 and therefore would need to be ported to older versions.
