can't find class Javac

[Mark Williamson <Ma...@Appropria.com>]

Hi,

I am just switching my project over to using ant and I'm having 
a few problems running it on my linux box. Ant does not seem
to be able to load com.sun.tools.javac.Main. 

now - tools.jar IS on the classpath. The available task 
<available classname="com.sun.tools.javac.Main" property="whatever" /> 
fails (ie. noclassdeffound) and most mysteriously 
if I run the following test code 


public class test 
{
	public void poo()
	{
	try
		{
            		Class.forName("com.sun.tools.javac.Main");
            		System.out.println("And the problems is.....");
		}
		catch( Exception e)
		{
			System.out.println("There has been an error:" +
e.getMessage());	
		}			
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception 
	{
		test t= new test();
		t.poo();
	}
}


it works fine. Can anyone help me with this or point me 
towards a resource that has info on this 

cheers

Try running ant with -verbose to see what classpath it is really using.
(E.g. maybe the startup script is accidentally invoking Kaffe or
something.)
