ant 1.6.x libraries

["Melzer, Steven" <St...@paymentech.com>]

all,

i am trying to move from ant 1.5.x on Windows to ant 1.6.x on Unix and i am having a hard time understanding the proper way to handle external libraries.

i started with a clean version of redhat 9.  it has ant 1.5.x pre-installed.  i used the jpackage and upgraded it to 1.6.x (after a tremendous amout of dependency fighting).  my build script failed because it could not see junit.

after much fighting i gave up.  i installed a fresh ant 1.6.2 (not an rpm package) in a new directory and pointed my CLASSPATH, ANT_HOME, and PATH appropriately.  i used the --noconfig option to override the rpm mode and everything ran "just like it used to".

so, i was going to just change the ant.conf file to force rpm_mode = false so i could remove the --noconfig.  it works, but the ant.conf file says that the --noconfig is really for legacy scripts.

how do you properly configure ant 1.6.2 using rpm_mode to use external libraries and optional tasks?

thanks,
steve
