http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35060 Summary: ant 1.6.4 does not seem to use ~/.ant/lib anymore Product: Ant Version: 1.6.4 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Something changed in ant between version 1.6.2 and 1.6.4 which leads to the fact that jar files placed in ~/.ant/lib are not being used by ant anymore. I looked at Launcher.java which seems to have been rewritten w.r.t. finding the .ant/lib directory but then stracing the ant process does show that the file gets at least statted but it doesn't seem to be used. % jar tvf ~/.ant/lib/ant-contrib-basen-bootstrap.jar 0 Wed Jul 28 22:36:10 EEST 2004 META-INF/ 379 Wed Jul 28 22:36:08 EEST 2004 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF 0 Wed Jul 28 21:39:48 EEST 2004 net/ 0 Wed Jul 28 21:39:48 EEST 2004 net/basen/ 0 Wed Jul 28 21:39:48 EEST 2004 net/basen/antcontrib/ 0 Wed Jul 28 22:36:08 EEST 2004 net/basen/antcontrib/bootstrap/ 4159 Wed Jul 28 22:36:08 EEST 2004 net/basen/antcontrib/bootstrap/BasenTaskdef.class 58 Wed Jul 28 22:36:08 EEST 2004 net/basen/antcontrib/bootstrap/bootstrap.properties % ant Buildfile: build.xml [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource net/basen/antcontrib/bootstrap/bootstrap.properties. It could not be found. BUILD FAILED /usr/src/cvs-in/FortN/FortN/build.xml:35: Could not create task or type of type: basentaskdef. Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'basentaskdef'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries implementing the functionality were not found at the time you yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources. Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively, download a pre-built release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>. - You are attempting to use a task defined using <presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not defined it at the point of use Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the classpath Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored, as this is not an Ant bug.
