Bug 54112 – struts-1.1.ebuild fails for lack of dependency with ant-optional

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guillermo Castro 2004-06-16 13:19:49 UTC]

While trying to emerge struts, i got the following error:

BUILD FAILED
/var/tmp/portage/struts-1.1/work/jakarta-struts-1.1-src/build.xml:301: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.TraXLiaison

The problem is that the class is part of the ant-optional package which i hadn't installed. After installing ant-optional, struts package emerged fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Be sure package 'ant-optional' isn't installed on the system
2. 'emerge struts'


Actual Results:  
Build failed with the following error:

BUILD FAILED
/var/tmp/portage/struts-1.1/work/jakarta-struts-1.1-src/build.xml:301:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.TraXLiaison

Expected Results:  
package should be emerged succesfully.

Did you have ant 1.5 or 1.6 installed when this failed on you?

With 1.5, you don't need ant-optional, with 1.6, ant-optional will be installed automatically by emerge after it has installed ant 1.6.

If you find this not to be the case for you, please reopen this bug with specific information on which version of any you used.

[Comment 2 Guillermo Castro 2004-06-21 07:47:04 UTC]

I have ant 1.6.1-r1 installed, and ant-optional wasn't installed along. I guess then this should be an ant bug?
