Ant 1.4.1 / JDK 1.4 beta3: '
Hi,
I'm having problems getting Ant 1.4.1 to work with JDK 1.4 beta3.
I get the 'Cannot use classic compiler' error:
[seb@ART002001] 150 # ant compile
Buildfile: build.xml
init:
compile:
[javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler
[javac] Compiling 11 source files to H:\dev\java\obj
BUILD FAILED
H:\dev\java\build.xml:14: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not
available A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME
to your jdk directory.
Total time: 3 seconds
Exit 1
I looked this up in the archives, and it seems other people had this
problem, but the solution was always adding tools.jar to the classpath
(or setting up JAVA_HOME correctly). I however think these things are
fine, and running ant in debug mode seems to confirm this:

So i don't really understand what's wrong here, unless Ant 1.4.1 has an
issue with the Sun 1.4 beta 3 SDK?
Any help would be appreciated!
Sebastien.

Some more on this 'Modern compiler is not available / Cannot use classic
compiler' problem:
I've been trying Ant 1.4, and JDK 1.3.1_01, local installations iso
having these reside on a SMB server: always the same problem.
I do set JAVA_HOME properly, and setting CLASSPATH to tools.jar doesn't
help either. Building using a minimal build file still gives me the
error message.
If i run 'ant -debug', i do get tools.jar in 'java.class.path'.
There must be something very basic that's wrong (some other environment
in this machine / ...) on this Win2k machine.
tia,
Sebastien.
