Bug#324884: ant fails to recognize 'gjdoc' task, whereas libant1.6 succeeds.

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: ant
Version: 1.6.2-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

using the cdbs system, I can have a 'gjdoc' task if I set 'ANT_HOME :=
/usr/share/ant1.6' in my debian/rules file; but if I change it to
'.../ant' as recommended under http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ant/, I
get an error message saying that the task doesn't exist and giving a lot
of good meant advices on how to solve the issue... ;-)

> /home/ericl/forms-1.0.5/build.xml:200: Could not create task or type of
> type: gjdoc.

> Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

I need this fixed in order to proceed with the packaging of
libforms-java with ant instead of libant1.6.

Thanks, Eric
