Re: Bug#135794: ant: Modern compiler is not available

[Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>]

  Earlier, I reported that ant was giving me fits:

    compile:
	[javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler
	[javac] Compiling 1 source file to /tmp/foo

    BUILD FAILED

      /tmp/foo/build.xml:4: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not
      available A common solution is to set the environment variable
      JAVA_HOME to your jdk directory.

  Turns out that the link I had made from /usr/lib/j2re1.3/lib/ext to
  /usr/share/java was causing this problem. Since I removed the link,
  ant has been working fine.
