Bug#532640:

I checked the source of velocity and it looks like it provides two ant
tasks - TexenTask and AnakiaTask. These tasks have dependency on ant
for functionality. Also anyone trying to use these tasks is expected
to have ant installed. None of the remaining classes in velocity.jar
depend on ant. So the ant can be safely moved from depends to
suggests. It is also possible to remove the dependency altogether
similar to fop which provides ant tasks but does not depend on ant.


Cheers,
Onkar
