Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'junit'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries implementing the functionality were not found at the time you yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources. Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively, download a pre-built release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>. - You are attempting to use a task defined using <presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not defined it at the point of use Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the classpath Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored, as this is not an Ant bug. Total time: 1 second !!! ERROR: dev-java/commons-net-1.3.0 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 40, Exitcode 1 !!! died on ant Build succeeds doing USE="-junit". May be the same/similar to Bug 76485.
This works now, re-emerging with +junit. Maybe it only fails if commons-net isn't already installed. Might as well close this bug if nobody else reports any problems.
Oh, didn't notice that I can close it myself. See Comment #1.
I still seem to have trouble with this. Even after emerging successfully with junit disabled after re-emering i get the same error with junit enabled.
i'll fix this later today. i've currently no possiblity to do that.
fixed version now in portage. please do 'emerge sync' again and try it again. thanks for the report.
