Problems building and testing from CVS

[_matthewHawthorne <mh...@alumni.pitt.edu>]

I am confused about how to build and test the ant source from CVS.  On
downloading and attempting to run the tests (by running 'ant test'), I
see the errors shown below.  I can build using the build.sh script, but
I would like to be able to run the tests separately and manually,
especially if I start to submit patches.

This seems like a very simple problem, but I'm stuck... can anyone offer
any help?

When you type "ant test", I guess you are trying to build Ant 1.6 (CVS) with 
Ant 1.5.x. This won't work because Ant 1.6's build requires Ant 1.6 :-)

You can't use ant to build Ant. You need to bootstrap it. Have a read here
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#buildingant

and see how you go.
