Re: In less than four weeks Ant's first release will be 25 years old

I haven't been around that long but this is really impressive indeed.

Ant still gets used in several projects and I think it's a notable 
achievement that this build tool continues to be maintained and 
released. Not just that, the fact that it can be used across a wide 
range of Java versions - from older Java 8 to the very recent Java 24 
and upcoming releases of Java, is very appreciable too.

I don't have any specific celebrations in mind. Congratulations to 
everyone who's been part of the Ant project, both as users as well as 
contributors over the past several years. Looking forward to the 
continued usage of this build tool in the Java ecosystem.
