           Summary: ant build fails due to a NoClassDefFoundError exception.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build Process
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: fredrik@devibe.net


After bootstrapping, the ant build dies with

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher

This is on a RedHat box and /etc/redhat-release says "Red Hat Enterprise Linux
WS release 3 (Taroon Update 4)".

According to
 
http://www.jasonsimms.com/archives/2004/06/000085-apache_ant_mystery_error_solved.html

this is due to the existence of the directory /usr/share/ant and the suggested
fix is to remove / rename this directory. However, it should be possible to
install a different version of ant into a different directory without affecting
any existing installation and it is not always preferrable (or even possible) to
remove this directory.
