Problem Running ANT - getLocationURLs

Hello!

I'm having a problem when I want to run ant on my computer. When I
type and run ant I get and Exception like the:


java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Locator.getLocationURLs<Locator.java:262>

What the hell is that? I tried a lot of thing (reinstall ant, set the
ANT_HOME, reintall the JVM, etc) but it dosen't work.

Anyone???
Thanks.

Re: Problem Running ANT - getLocationURLs

Posted by Peter Reilly <pe...@apache.org>.
I can get this to happen if I do not have read permission on
a directory that getLocationURLs is getting jars from. (So this
is a bug).

The launcher code uses
getLocationURLs to look for jars in the $ANT_HOME/lib, ~/.ant/lib
and in any directories in the $CLASSPATH.

This may be your problem?
