It looks like buildmagic is incompatible with ant 1.7 because even though I have updated the version check to allow 1.7, it seems as though the ant.version property is not set:

init:

_buildmagic:modules:most:

 ======================================================================
 == Executing 'most' in module 'main'...
 ==

_buildmagic:init:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/svn/JBossHead/jboss-head/tools/etc/buildmagic/buildmagic.ent:31: Unsupported Ant version:

 ant.version=${ant.version}

 Please install a version which is compatible with Ant 1.5 or 1.6.

Total time: 1 second

I have to add -Dant.version="Ant version 1.7" on the command line to get past the version check. I'm half tempted to just drop the version check rather than hack into the buildmagic code.
