Hi,
I have just upgraded my OSX box to the latest 10.1 version and my ant
projects now don't compile anymore. I got this message at the first
<javac> task:
/path/to/my/project/build.xml:57: /Users/luc/Library/Java/Extensions not
found.
I have managed to track the issue down to a certain point: the problem
seems to only occur when using jikes. Invoking ant with the -verbose
option gives me this nice exception stack trace:

A look at the ant sourcecode shows that the problem occurs when ant
builds the jikes command line. The 'java.ext.dirs' property seems to
contain directories which do not exist
(/Users/luc/Library/Java/Extensions). Creating an empty folder at the
requested location leads to the same error but with another folder
(/Network/Library/Java/Extensions).
What I don't know is if this is an ant bug, or an Apple bug, or simple
configuration error... :-)
Thanks for your help.
PS: please note that I did not make a clean install, it was an upgrade
over a 10.0.4, so there might be some legacy turds here and there.
