bootstrap problem on Win2K

           Summary: bootstrap problem on Win2K
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build Process
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: paul@priorartisans.com


I just checked out source from CVS, and am encountering 2 errors during a bootstrap:

1.  NPE in PumpStreamHandler.start(): inputThread is null, since the PSH was
constructed (from Execute) without an input argument, so inputThread is never
initialized.  I fixed that by adding a "if ( inputThread != null )" as a
pre-check before starting the thread.  But not really understanding what's going
on, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate fix or not.

2.  Compiler error:
C:\src\jakarta\jakarta-ant\src\main\org\apache\tools\ant\taskdefs\optional\perforce\P4Submit.java:110:
cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method split (java.util.Vector,java.lang.String)
location: class org.apache.oro.text.perl.Perl5Util
                    util.split(myarray, line);

Where should I get the org.apache.oro library from?  Is it a prereq for building
Ant?

I merely commented out that line (since I don't need the task), and the rest of
the bootstrap process worked fine.
