http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30611 java.lang.InstantiationException - starting ANT ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-08-12 08:55 ------- Wierd. "Thrown when an application tries to use the Java new construct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface. Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed. " This is a linkage error of some form or other. I would hypothesise that somewhere on your classpath you have an old copy of ant.jar, an incompatible copy of ant.sh, or the like 1. what is CLASSPATH? 2. set the env variable ant_exec_debug , run ant and see whats get printed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
