Emerging ant-tasks (1.6.2-r5), using jikes as java-compiler, produces error while compiling ant classes. The error says my classpath is incorrect, but that's not the case. The ebuild changes it incorrectly. Jikes (1.22) needs the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar in its classpath, but the ant-tasks ebuild changes it to "." (on line 68).

Expected Results: No error. When i change the classpath in the ebuild on line 68, from: CLASSPATH="." ./build.sh -Ddist.dir=${D}/usr/share/ant-core -lib ${libs} || die "build failed" to: CLASSPATH=".:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar" ./build.sh -Ddist.dir=${D}/usr/share/ ant-core -lib ${libs} || die "build failed" The ebuild finishes succesfully. Don't know if it's the correct solution, but it works.

I tested for this and found nothing wrong. I used blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01. Here's how I did it: qpkg -I -nc dev-java | xargs emerge -C USE="jikes" emerge ant-tasks
