No, I had just forgotten that the different JDKs had different sets of jars.
But when you mention it, it actually sounds like a good idea. :) That would be
more robust and require less platform specific code, wouldn't it? I know that
we normally want to keep the number of jars on compile.classpath as small as
possible to prevent new dependencies from being introduced. But as far as I
have understood, the new target that sets up compile.classpath automatically is
primarily aimed at users who download the code to experiment with it or try out
patches. For these users, the most important thing is that the build works, so
such a broad approach might make sense. For Derby developers on the other hand,
I think we should still encourage them to set up ant.properties so that they
know exactly which libraries that are used in the build process.
