Description Bardur Arantsson 2002-11-01 13:09:43 UTC

The /usr/bin/ant script from ant 1.5 (and 1.5.1) resets the $CLASSPATH  
variable without regard to the $CLASSPATH set in the environment. Obviously,  
the script should respect the $CLASSPATH which has been set by the user.  
  
Fixing this (for both 1.5 and 1.5.1) should be trivial: Just don't override  
the environment $CLASSPATH if it has been set by the user.  
  
(And yes, I am aware that one can create a ~/.gentoo/java-env containing a  
CLASSPATH, but that is no reason to ignore $CLASSPATH in the environment.  
~/.gentoo/java-env is not exactly useful unless *all* your development  
machines are Gentoo. Additionally, setting the environment is much easier to  
do dynamically).
