The announcement is hopelessly vague, though. "...addresses problems relating to java..." No, really? A release of a Java program for building Java programs addresses problems which are related to Java? I'd never have guessed.

To clarify the announcement, from the article:
If you don't use Visual Age for Java or , there is no reason to upgrade from Ant 1.5.3.
So... even most Java developers won't be interested in this announcement.

It's problems relating to 'javah', not java. A quote from the manpage for javah :
"javah produces C header files and C source files from a Java class. These files provide the connective glue that allow your Java and C code to interact. "
Sort of useful.

===BEGIN=== From "Stefan Bodewig" Subject [ANN] Apache Ant 1.5.4 has been released Date Wed, August 13, 2003 12:21 am To e.org,announce@apache.org,announce@jakarta.apache. org,announce@xml.apache.org
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Apache Ant 1.5.4 is a minor bugfix release that adresses problems in two domains:
(1) With JDK 1.4.2 Sun has changed the entry point for javah, therefore Ant 1.5.3's task doesn't work on JDK 1.4.2 anymore.
(2) The Visual Age for Java tasks had some major flaws.
If you don't use Visual Age for Java or , there is no reason to upgrade from Ant 1.5.3.
Note that Ant 1.5.4 is the last release that supports JDK 1.1 at runtime. The next major release of Ant, Ant 1.6, will require JDK 1.2 or later to run. Compiling for a 1.1 target JVM will still be possible with Ant 1.6.
You can download Ant as binary distribution from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi or as source distribution from http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi.
Thank you for using Ant.
