Hi Dale, you might want to download the sources from cvs and do a build, there have been some changes in the start up scripts which are going to apply to ant1.6.
(I do not know if this is going to solve your problems though) Cheers, Antoine -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Dale Anson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 29. September 2003 21:04 An: Ant Developers List Betreff: Re: All those jars...! I don't claim to understand the details of what ant-launcher is supposed to do, but if I do: cd ${ant.home}/lib jar xf ant.jar jar xf ant-launcher.jar rm ant.jar ant-launcher.jar jar cfm ant.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF META-INF/LICENSE.txt images/ org/ rm -rf META-INF/ images/ org/ java -jar ant.jar -version I get: Apache Ant version 1.6alpha compiled on September 9 2003 Which means that Ant is using the ant-launcher classes in the same jar. If I change line 57 of ${ant.home}/bin/ant.bat from: set LOCALCLASSPATH=%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant-launcher.jar;%CLASSPATH% to: set LOCALCLASSPATH=%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant.jar;%CLASSPATH% and these lines in ${ant.home}/bin/ant (the shell script) if [ -z "$LOCALCLASSPATH" ] ; then LOCALCLASSPATH=$ANT_LIB/ant-launcher.jar else LOCALCLASSPATH=$ANT_LIB/ant-launcher.jar:$LOCALCLASSPATH fi to if [ -z "$LOCALCLASSPATH" ] ; then LOCALCLASSPATH=$ANT_LIB/ant.jar else LOCALCLASSPATH=$ANT_LIB/ant.jar:$LOCALCLASSPATH fi then doing: ant -version gives me: Apache Ant version 1.6alpha compiled on September 9 2003 rather than an error. I spent some time yesterday trying to find the minimum set of jars files required to run Ant, and by doing the above, I only need one jar. I'm sure there must be a good reason to have the ant-launcher classes in a separate jar, but obviously I don't know what it is or I wouldn't be rambling on about it!
