same happens here dev-java/ant-1.5.3-r4
I guess you use jdk-1.3.1(blackdown-jdk or sun-jdk, etc) and ant-1.5.3. If you emerge jdk-1.4.1 or ant-1.5.2, it'll be ok. jdk-1.3.1 + ant-1.5.3 is NG jdk-1.3.1 + ant-1.5.2 is OK jdk-1.4.1 + ant-1.5.2 is OK jdk-1.4.1 + ant-1.5.3 is OK But we need to resolv it with jdk-1.3.1. so I debuged it then I got this message. 'Unable to load default ProjectHelper due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/SAXException' (I don't know about ant...) any idea?
i'm using: blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 ant-1.5.3-r4 which is one of the combinations you says works. is this a typo on your part or am i missing something else? "jdk-1.4.1 + ant-1.5.3 is OK"
Check that 1.4.1 is your default/system VM as well. I was just bitten by the same thing while trying to update my postgreSQL, but then noticed that autoclean didn't uninstall blackdown-jdk-1.3.1 after I updated to 1.4.1. So I simply used java-config to set my default to 1.4.1, and now everything works as advertised.
i used `java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-1.4.1` to set the correct jdk version then re-emerged postgresql and it passed the ants test. thanks for the tip.
had the same problem here. perhaps we should check this in the ebuild. or someone should clarify why it doesnt work with blackdown-jdk-1.3.x
ok to solve this is really simple (workaround) use java-config to set a system-vm reemerge ant, then call ant and see if it works. the reemerge postgresql

I also encountered this bug on a newly-installed system. Installing ant-1.5.2 instead of 1.5.3-r4 fixed the problem.
hello, java guys any idea?
Martin said the possible and fastest workaround for this, Java team knows about this issue. User needs to: 1. java-config --list-available-vms 2. java-config --set-system-vm=(HERE GOES THE VM SELECTED) 3. source /etc/profile 4. Re-emerge postgresql, and problems should not appear again. Sorry for this inconvenience, but were working on it.
I resolved it deleting the file /root/.gentoo/java-env
closing with latest version of java-config & ant & pgsql
