Release 4.1.2-ondemand-rc3 does not work with our builds

Question

Came into work today to find out our Bamboo platform has been updated. Been trying to create and test new builds for our projects and it takes about 20 minutes to check SVN and it doesn't run the targets in our ant build scripts. The job just fails and doesn't create an artifact (jar file). It recognises the targets it needs to run but doesn't execute them. Not sure if this is an ANT issues. Currently we are using 1.7 but it looks like bamboo is using 1.8.

Anyone else having similar issues?

You can fix this issue by changing the path to ant to /opt/apache-ant-1.8.2 in image capabilities.

Support is working on rolling out a global update for that, so you can also wait a bit and the problem should go away.

I raised a ticket with your support team and they investigated and found out the problem related to what you said. Currently just running a build now.

these are two lines taken out of the log file where it seems to be failing:
