It is my understanding that build.sysclasspath=only has always applied to
taskdefs.  The way I got around this in the past was to add your work
directories to the classpath.

The root problem as I see it is the dependency on the "clean" target by the
"dist" target.  This causes the work directories AND the cactus-ant.jar to
be rebuilt.  This has been known to confuse class loaders and even trap
certain JVMs.

You might want to consider removing this dependency.
