I've received no replies to this, so let me try again with a little more 
information.  Previous versions of build.sh (or build.bat)  contained this 
sequence:

LOCALCLASSPATH=lib/xercesImpl.jar:lib/xml-apis.jar:bootstrap/lib/ant.jar
# add in the dependency .jar files
DIRLIBS=lib/optional/*.jar
for i in ${DIRLIBS}
do
    if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then
        LOCALCLASSPATH=$LOCALCLASSPATH:"$i"
    fi
done

In the current version, it is like this:

LOCALCLASSPATH=
# add in the dependency .jar files
DIRLIBS=lib/optional/*.jar
for i in ${DIRLIBS}
do
    if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then
        LOCALCLASSPATH=$LOCALCLASSPATH:"$i"
    fi
done

The difference is that LOCALCLASSPATH is no longer being preset with 
xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar before the optional directory is scanned.
The absence of these jars from the classpath was what led to the failures 
below.  Getting them onto the classpath solved the problem.  

But is this a bug?  Or is it an undocumented requirement that ant be built in 
an environment that has these or other such jars on the classpath?  Or is it a 
documented requirement and I've just been unable to find the documentation?

Subject:        can't build.
This is my first attempt to build ant in awhile.

I downloaded a completely fresh source tree from cvs, made a couple of 
extremely minor changes, and then tried to build with build.sh.  The bootstrap 
build successfully completes, but then when the main build starts, I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/ant]$ ./build.sh -Ddist.dir=dist dist
ANT_HOME=bootstrap
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
XML parser factory has not been configured correctly: 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

I don't understand this.

My ant/lib directory contains (from the download)

     927669   8-01-2003   1:45a -rw-rw-r--  /home/scohen/ant/lib/xercesImpl.jar
     108484   6-01-2002   7:26a -rw-rw-r--  /home/scohen/ant/lib/xml-apis.jar

What am I missing?  I've never needed anything else to build ant.  Has 
something changed in the build procedure?
