can use update-alternatives on ubuntu switch between multiple versions of ant? used same switching between g++ versions on ubuntu 14.04 lts explained here. looking similar process multiple ant versions, not able find any.
well, how did it. luckily, found solution after posting question. should have tried different keywords in google search. searching "installing multiple ant versions on ubuntu" took me this link. here steps followed. had version 1.9.x on machine (ubuntu 14.04) , needed ant 1.8.4:
$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.bz2 // move current version stock $ test -f /usr/share/ant || sudo mv /usr/share/ant /usr/share/apache-ant-stock $ tar xvf apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.bz2 $ sudo mv apache-ant-1.8.4 /usr/share/ $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/ant ant-bins /usr/share/apache-ant-1.8.4/ 1 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/ant ant-bins /usr/share/apache-ant-stock/ 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ant ant /usr/share/apache-ant-1.8.4/bin/ant 1 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ant ant /usr/share/apache-ant-stock/bin/ant 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --config ant-bins $ sudo update-alternatives --config ant now can switch versions.
