Following up from my previous email (which came across as more grumpy
than I intended, apologies), can I ask: is anyone using the apache-ant
port in anger?
I've had extreme difficulties with it thus far. In particular, the
script seems to rely on the existence of a CLASSPATH variable it never
sets. Additionally, it doesn't select any of the *.jar files in
/usr/local/ant/lib by default, which has the effect of turning off any
of the optional ant tasks.
Am I doing something wrong? I've wound up including the following in my
~/.antrc as a workaround:
[[
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.4.2 export JAVA_HOME
lcp=$( \
find -s /usr/local/ant/lib -name '*.jar' | while read jar ; do
echo -n ":${jar}"
done | sed -e 's/://' )
LOCALCLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:$lcp
]]
Which means if bsf.jar and js.jar are available in the usual place
(/usr/local/share/java/whatever...) then the script tasks etc are again
available... but I'd expect /usr/local/bin/ant to do this kind of thing
on my behalf.
Yours in confusion,
jan

Just because I have nothing to hide doesn't mean I have nothing to fear.
