Classpath setup problem
Hi devs,
I just upgraded to Ant 1.6.5 and the junit tasks stopped
working (see Ant FAQ faq.html#delegating-classloader). I
really liked my setup where all jars were in a single
directory. :-(
It's too late in the evening for advanced reshuffling
of important libraries. What's your setup?

Yeah, with the help of those nice build.bat|sh ;-)

apt-get install ant junit
which puts a symlink to junit.jar in /usr/share/ant/lib/

No, $HOME/lib.
I thought of either adding
<exclude name="fop*.jar"/>
<exclude name="batik*.jar"/>
and perhaps a few more to filesets which load from optional.lib.dir,
or have specific filesets for Jimi, JAI, JCE providers etc. Neither
is completely foolproof, in particular ther may be people with JCE
providers other than bouncy castle.

What do you mean with repository? xml-fop/lib?

Thanks for the encouragement.
After another round of getting the long, well meaning and
utterly useless Ant messsage about a task not found, this time
because Cygwin $HOME is not Java user.home and therefore
~/.ant/lib isn't searched for jars, I finally solved this by
adding "-lib ~/java/lib" to ANT_ARGS, thereby also making
the setting of optional.lib.dir in build-local.properties
obsolete. My .antrc is now more than 50 lines!
Next question: I used to have old (maintenance branch) jars
for FOP and Batik in the repository, which causes compilation
problems. Therefore it might be a good idea to include only
specific fles rather than *.jar in the classpath set. WDYT?

I used to use a script for ant that adds junit.jar to the
classpath. Since Debian Sarge, it works out of the box, as
Christian said.

Yeah, this is exactly what I like to avoid: If I kill the
installation, there's a chance all jars put there are gone
and have to be extracted from offline archives in the new
installation.
I'll probably move all jars to ~/.ant/lib and point
optional.lib.dir there. Grmbl.

Just upgraded to Ant 1.6.5 on Windoze.
1. Unpack binaries
2. Adjust ANT_HOME env variable (%ANT_HOME%\bin is already in the PATH)
3. Copy junit-3.8.1.jar into the lib directory of the Ant installation.
...works.
