HI, thanks for your help. i understand what you're saying about it being a standalone system. i guess its a mixture of "well, this SHOULD work... its a new system", and the fact that i've had problems before, when ignoring the Yast package manager (albeit for a webserver, not just a build tool... but still).
So, what you're saying is, that a new, direct, download of ant, will have this jar and therefore not complain about missing classes. i think we've established that its not an obvious configuration issue i've missed. many thanks. i'll investigate and contact opensuse if it is the case that ant doesnt have all dependencies in the initial pkg download.
