package: ant-optional
version: 1.7.0-6
sevewrity: wishlist
/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-apache-bsf.jar contains the classes nescessary to
make ant use bsf or jsr-223 languages(<script> and <scriptdef>).
However, bsf.jar and it's requirements(at least commons-logging.jar) are
not in lib as symlinks.
Ideally, all the other optional tasks included in this package should
also depend other packages in debian.

Ant tasks don't have their dependent libraries added automatically to
the classpath anymore because this can create version conflicts, and it
reduces the freedom of the user to use a non Debian version of a library.
Instead, it is recommended to setup by yourself the classpath required
by Ant. In your build files, you can use the <taskdef> element with a
classpath attribute (see the Ant documentation for more details).
If you are building a Debian package, you can use CDBS for Ant and add
your library to the DEB_JARS variable.
In all cases, since in Debian the location of the files is always known
(jars are in /usr/share/java), the change in your build files should be
trivial.
