Hi,

In org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Locator.java, the comment
for getToolsJar() states:

/**
 * Get the File necessary to load the Sun compiler tools. (...)
 */

... and then tries to either load the compiler classes or find tools.jar in the system.

Does this mean that ant can't run without an implementation of the
com.sun.tools.javac.* classes? Do you know if there is a free (cleanroom)
implementation of these classes available? Are the classes also needed
when I only want to use gcj as build.compiler?


tools.jar is used for lots of things -rmic, javadoc, javah. Ant will still run if it cannot find the file, and so your build file may or may not work, depending on what tasks you use and how they are configured
