Re: An error occurred at line: -1, Unable to compile class for JSP(Netware)

Thanks. I did not find the bug listed when I searched.

It's a known bug, which has beend discussed on the developers list only 
very recently. See

http://marc.info/?t=120667098200003&r=1&w=2 

Your workaround (using ant 1.5) seems fine. The final solution is still 
pending, but it's quite possible, that Mark does a fix for the future 
4.1.38. This still needs some clarification though.

Regards,

Rainer
