Steps to reproduce: With dev-java/xjavac-20041208-r5 emerged: # emerge dev-java/xerces-2.9.1 Error message: /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/xerces-2.9.1/work/xerces-2_9_1/build.xml:14: taskdef class org.apache.xerces.util.XJavac cannot be found The jar containing the appropriate taskdef is "/usr/share/xjavac-1/lib/xjavac.jar"; modifying xerces' build.xml, ln. 16, "<pathelement location="${tools.dir}/bin/xjavac.jar" ></pathelement>" fixes the build. Note that xjavac is missing from the ebuild environment variable "EANT_GENTOO_CLASSPATH".
works fine here with icedtea6. what jdk are you using to build xerces? also, did you try to re-emerge xjavac? and what arch are you on?
I apologize that my bug report wasn't particularly thorough. I am using amd64, and I did try re-emerging xjavac and the problem persisted. I am using Sun JDK 1.6.0.22 [sun-jdk-1.6] (java-config -L confirms that it's selected)
i still cannot reproduce the issue. tested on ~amd64 with sun-jdk-1.6.0.23 and ant 1.8.1. xjavac ant task should be pulled on path by ant so modifying build.xml is not fix but rather workaround. what version of ant do you have?

I faintly remember old taskdef task not liking non-existent jars, so I'm not sure about it. Either way, changed the taskdef to no reference a jar at all. *xerces-2.11.0 (26 May 2012) 26 May 2012; Ralph Sennhauser <sera@gentoo.org> +xerces-2.11.0.ebuild, +files/xerces-2.11.0-build.xml.patch: Security bump. #280611 Don't let taskdef point to non-existent jar. #351394
