==== Ant support removed
`SpecClassFileSelector` was removed, which was the only class that required `ant`.
If you are still using spock with `ant`, then you can just copy the class from the spock source code into your build.
==== Ant custom selector removed
The class `SpecClassFileSelector` that could be used to only select actual Spock specification classes when testing
and creating a test report was removed. It was the only class that required `ant` and was basically just a one-line
forward to the `SpecClassFileFinder` which is still available.

If you are still using Spock with `ant`, then you can just copy {SpecClassFileSelector}[the class from the spock source code]
into your build, or you simply use a {scriptselector}[`<scriptselector>`] that does this forwarding as shown in the
{spock-example-project}[Spock Example Project].

Alternatively, you can also use a naming convention to find the classes that are actual specifications and not helper
or base classes, or you live with a bit of wasted time and some meaningless entries in the test reports.
