Hi dear Ant developers!
I think I found a bug in Ant javac task, (or maybe in Java compiler). I need you help to check if it is true. Javac task behaves differently in Java 6 and Java 5. For some reason it works properly in Java 5 on the same project structure, but fails in Java 6. Imagine situation when you have 3 classes with dependencies between them: A -> B -> C Then you compile C.java and pack into c.jar Then you compile B.java, using c.jar in classpath, and pack it into b.jar Then you compile A.java, using b.jar. It works properly in Java 5, but fails in Java 6: compiler can not resolve dependency B->C (though you compile only A class). I created simple test case, so could you please look at it and try to find out the cause of the problem? http://download.cl1p.net/javac_bug/?FILE=17647 There are two bat-files in archive: works.bat and fails.bat. The only difference between them is JDK version. I tried on Ant 1.7.1 and 1.6.5, using jdk1.6.0_10 and jdk1.5.0_16. The result is stable: compilation works on JDK 5, and fails on JDK 6. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Regards, Sergey Bondarenko.
