I'm slightly confused now. Actually jetty is not directly depending on
ant-1.6.jar but indirectly via it's dependency on libtomcat4-java. It
seems like libtomcat4-java contains it's own copy of ant.jar
in /usr/share/tomcat4/common/lib/. I cc'ed pkg-java-maintainters which
maintain tomcat4. Please could the tomcat maintainers comment on this.
Is there any interrest in splitting the jasper implementation from the
tomcat package?
