Bug#238674: Ant does not include files in /usr/share/ant/lib, contrary to the documentation

[Paul Wagland]

Package: ant
Version: 1.6.1-1
Severity: important

In README.Debian it says:
- All JAR archives in /usr/share/ant/lib/ are appended to the class path
  before Ant is run. You can add symlinks there to automatically extend
  Ant's CLASSPATH.

However, as you can see from the below, this is not the case:

#> ls -l /usr/share/ant/lib/*bcel*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         8629 2004-03-10 01:50 /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-jakarta-bcel.jar

#> ant showOutputs
Buildfile: build.xml
 
nit:
  
showOutputs:
       [echo] ./monitorexceptions.jar
        
BUILD FAILED
/home/pwagland/devel-cvs/export/fortis/JARS/build.xml:87: Unable to load dependency analyzer: org.apache.tools.ant.util.depend.bcel.FullAnalyzer
	 
Total time: 8 seconds


#> jar -tf /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-jakarta-bcel.jar | grep FullA
org/apache/tools/ant/util/depend/bcel/FullAnalyzer.class


Looking into /usr/share/ant/bin/ant I cannot see where the files in
/usr/share/ant/lib are added to the classpath.

Of course, once this is done, I still need to get bcel into
/usr/share/ant/lib, but there is another bug open on that one :-)

Thanks for other great work though!
