Greetings,
This should be one for the ant FAQ. I had installed ant, it worked, and life
was good. I did a bunch of (what normally would have been inocuous changes
to the workstation, in order to sync the CLASSPATH and the filesystem.
Also, I had installed some stuff, etc. After such, I went back to developer
work, and Ant was no long functional. The output can be viewed at the end of
this suggestion. I did all of the JAVA_HOME/tools.jar stuff to make it work,
however, Ant still failed, even when all of the JAVA_HOME/tools.jar stuff
was good. It took me quite some time to track down the problem, which seems
rather trivail. However, the problem, is that I added a hard link in
~jdk/lib/ext for ant.jar.
i.e. $ ln ~antHome/lib/ant.jar ~jdk/lib/ext/ant.jar
After removing the link (or copy) the Ant again began to work. An addition
should be made to the Ant FAQ which states that such will make Ant fail with
the "dreaded classic compiler error" and should (probably) not be avoided!
Cheers,
Doug Donahue
