ejbjar's dtd location attribute is not relative to basedir

           Summary: ejbjar's dtd location attribute is not relative to
                    basedir
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: colinml1@exis.com


Most ant tasks treat relative paths as relative to basedir, not the current user
directory, whatever that may be.

When using ejbjar however, and using the dtd attribute to specify a local
location of a dtd file, the 'location' attribute appears to be taken relative to
the current directory, not basedir. That is, if ant is run out of the project
root directory, then everything works. But if the project is called from another
ant project (and basedir is properly set to the root of the child project), the
dtd files can no longer be found, and the remote versions are attempted to be
loaded. I have verified that basedir is correct, since all other relative paths
still work (as specified to javac, mkdir, etc.
