#64 Better organization of download folder in sourceforge

[PhoneixS]

I think that the download section in sourceforge is a little messy and it's a confuse what is the last version of ANT Contrib.

I propose to sort thing a little with folders for each type (cpp, ant-contrib...) and then folders for major versions if necessary. For example something like:

• cpptasks
  • 1.0
    • 1.0b5
    • 1.0b4
• ant-contrib
  • 1.0
    • 1.0b3
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-src.tar.bz2.md5
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-src.tar.bz2
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-src.tar.gz.md5
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-src.tar.gz
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-src.zip
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-src.zip.md5
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.zip.md5
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.zip
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.tar.gz.md5
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.tar.gz
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.tar.bz2.md5
      • ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.tar.bz2
    • 1.0b2
      • ..... and so on
  • 0.6
  • 0.5
  • 0.4

Also use the same name convention for folders like add a 'bX' for beta and 'aX' for alpha not mix 1.0b5 and other folder as 1.0 beta 1.

I'm actually considering moving off of sourceforge and into github, along with a much needed update which brings us in line with the latest version of ant/ivy and jdk 7+. I will revisit this at that point.

Please, please, do so. According to the available info, the for task is incompatible with newer Ant releases, which is a problem, I am experiencing, right now.

EDIT: Even, if the information on the web was, that the for task is incompatible with newer Ant versions, I was successfull using following construct and Ant 1.10.5:

<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
  <classpath>
    <pathelement location="${user.home}/.ant/lib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
  </classpath>
</taskdef>
