Jahia does not support JSR168 yet (only for next release planned this 
fall). So we did a first migration of the JForum application to JSR168 = 
resizing of the GUI; automatic authentification with Jahia, etc... using 
Jetspeed2 for tests and then, once done, remigrated it as a standard 
servlet in order to run with the current release of Jahia.

So all the latest bug fixes and corrections are currently in the Jforum 
servlet module. We did not have the time yet to resynchronize them with the 
JSR168 version but this will be done for the next release of Jahia. If you 
need it urgently, please feel free to make the synch yourself, this should 
not be difficult (especially with a tool such as AraxisMerge or similar ;-).

In all the cases, the idea was to contribute and host the JSR168 version of 
jForum directly on the Jforum project itself as it is clearly not specific 
to Jahia. There was an ongoing discussion with the Jforum lead developer 
here: http://www.jforum.net/posts/list/91.page

Ant should work but I haven't tested myself ;-)
