+ + Antidote retired +
+April 4th, 2005 - The Apache Ant Project Retires Antidote, the + Ant GUI
+The Antidote subproject was once started to provide a GUI for + Ant at a time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable. + Unfortunately it never attracted a developer community of its + own.
+At the same time IDE support for Ant has become ubiquitous by + now and there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant. This + makes it even less likely that volunteers will start to spend time + working on it.
+Antidote's development has been stalled for years now, despite + some efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers. Therefore the + Ant developers have chosen to retire Antidote.
+Antidote will no longer be developed by the Ant project; its + CVS module will be shut down.
+If you are interested in Antidote's sources to learn from or + build on it, you can find snapshots at http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/.
+Ant 1.6.3beta1
