Cannot find Ant libraries when building from NetBeans
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-5023
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5023
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
Priority: Minor
Building Derby doesn't work out of the box in NetBeans. The wiki page
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/BuildingDerby instructs NetBeans users to
specify the ant.library.dir property in order to get the build working.
The Ant documentation says the following about the ant.library.dir property:
"The following property is only set if Ant is started via the Launcher class
(which means it may not be set inside IDEs either)"
Since the property is not guaranteed to be set, I suggest that we replace
references to "${ant.library.dir}/ant.jar" with references to "${ant.core.lib}"
in the build scripts. According to the above mentioned Ant manual page the
ant.core.lib property should always be available and point to ant.jar. Changing
this makes it possible to build Derby from NetBeans with no special
customization.
