ahhhh ! Enabling this is the absolute most stupidest move by Javasoft.
Allowing/encouraging vendors/usrs to use the ext dirs almost always causes
problems. I don't think I have ever seen a good use for ext dirs. I would
highly recomend that you remove all jars from ext dirs in all cases as
anything that has differening implementations will fail. Both apache
projects I work (ant and this) are plagued by these sorts of issues). It is
going to get even worse with JDK1.4 that includes everything - including
the kitchen sink ;(

*sigh*

nuff ranting for now ;) but I would recomend moving all jars out of that
directory. I may try to work around this in phoenix if I can (possibly by
re-setting ext dirs in run.sh script).

Does anyone know if -Djava.ext.dir="foo" will work on most JVMS ?


Cheers,

Pete
