Hi,

I haven't found any ant task for checking ant version.

We could use <exec> task and:

1. run "exec ant -version" in order to display for instance:
   "Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December 13 2006"
2. parse output somehow. There are no parsing tasks in ant,
   so we should use another <exec> for sed or awk
3. check version

4. for each input we'd need to print out (or not) default option.

The solution would not be scalable (points 1-3 should be inside a 
shell/perl script) and a lot of conditions should be checked (one for 
all input) - the code of scripts may become unclear.

Or there is an ant task for checking version I missed?
