Great, thanks. My main problem stemmed from the fact I did an 'apt-get install ant' on the Ubuntu machines, thinking it would be a complete installation. In fact doing it this way and I did not get *any* jars whatsoever (in /usr/share/ant/lib), those you saw in my output above were a result of me finding and adding them manually. Also you don't get the docs or other directories. I downloaded the source and extracted the libs from dist/libs/ and all is now working fine.

Good to know, as I had to download the source distro to get that, the required jars were in dist/libs anyway so seemed easier to just copy them over. > > Ant does have some optional dependencies on proprietary third party > jars that cannot be provided at all.

So far so good, after installing the jars the above two projects are now passing fine - along with another 3 so that's great, thanks for your help! > > > If we can get all the above working great and I end up understanding > > what I'm doing, could Ant project benefit from having build tests > > and snapshot builds etc run on Buildbot at Apache? > > I think so.
