+ | Bug #: 1643 Product: Ant |
+ | Status: NEW Version: 1.3 |
+ | Resolution: Platform: PC |
+ | Severity: Blocker OS/Version: |
+ | Priority: High Component: Core tasks |

+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ When building a project, the javac task implicitly includes all org.w3c.dom.*
+ classes in the build classpath. Because of this, a project which depends on
+ the XML classes and does not explicitly include these classes on the javac
+ classpath will not throw the expected error.
+
+ This is an extremely severe problem for two reasons:
+ 1. Using ANT there is no way to know which classes (and versions of those
+ classes) your project was actually built against.
+ 2. A component built with ANT could fail at runtime because there is no way
to
+ know what the classpath settings should be.
+
+ Here is an example:
+
+ This build.xml file:
+
+ <project name="AntXMLBug" default="compile" basedir=".">
+
+ <target name="compile">
+ <javac srcdir="." destdir="."/>
+ </target>
+
+ </project>
+
+ Used for this java class:
+
+ import org.w3c.dom.*;
+
+ public class AntXMLBug
+ {
+ }
+
+ Should fail, but it does not.
