Java 7 incompatibility?

[Dan Checkoway <dc...@gmail.com>]

With Java 6 all is well...

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

$ ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on January 6 2007

...but once I upgrade to Java 7:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)

$ ant -version
Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher

Any advice?

The most likely cause is a classpath problem.

Is the environment still pointing to Java6 jar files?

Try enabling verbose output and see what you get.
