Re: Appending to system classpath in Ant

["N. J. O'Neill" <nj...@llnl.gov>]

I'm finding that I have just the opposite problem with Ant 1.2, namely that 
the following javac task

     <javac
        srcdir="${basedir}/src"
        destdir="."
        classpath="/dev/null" />

is compiling correctly as long as the CLASSPATH environment variable is set 
(this is on Solaris 2.6 with JDK 1.3).  The sources that I am compiling use 
a lot of external classes (jsse, xerces, xalan, jdbc drivers, etc.), so I 
am at loss to explain how they are compiling with a classpath of 
"/dev/null" unless the javac task is silently appending the system 
classpath.  Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?
