Re: libant1.5-java for gjdoc
As I said in my email, this is almost certainly a bug in ant. Ant is
specifically checking to see if the VM is Kaffe and then looks for
additional jars in /usr/lib/kaffe/share/kaffe. Ant does not bother to
catch an Exception if that directory doesn't exist.
The only "bug" Kaffe has in this respect is that it now follows the
"standard" JAVA_HOME layout of most other VM implementations. Ant
should, in theory, no longer need to look in that kaffe specific
directory. In fact, I'll try downloading the source and eliminating the
Kaffe specific section entirely.
Consider the fact that creating an empty /usr/lib/kaffe/share/kaffe
directory will make Ant happy. Since creating an empty directory has
absolutely no functional impact on available classes I think that it is
pretty clear that ant has a problem in this case and not Kaffe.
