All,
Thanks for the input! It turns out that the Solaris tar is at fault. I
downloaded and installed GNU tar and it works just fine.
To the maintainer of the Ant web page. A suggestion. Have the download link
point to the parent directory instead of the /bin directory. As is was so
kindly pointed out to me ;-) , warning exists on this page that is not in the
/bin directory telling to use GNU tar.
Regards,
Robin
