Null pointer exception with depend

[Hakan Koseoglu <ha...@datafit.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Ant 1.4 instead of 1.3 and my build fails with the 
following error:

check:

BUILD FAILED

/home/hakank/file.xml:85: java.lang.NullPointerException

where line 85 and abouts are as follows

Line 82:    <target name="check" depends="tools">
Line 83:    <!-- this will recursively delete any class -->
Line 84:    <!-- files that depend on out-of-date source -->
Line 85:    <depend srcdir="${src}" closure="true">
Line 86:      <patternset refid="SOURCE"/>
Line 87:    </depend>
Line 88:  </target>

This bit works fine with Ant 1.3. 
What is wrong here?

It is a bug. It is fixed in CVS and will be in a 1.4.1 release. A 
workaround is to specify a cache directory.
