Metabug for the hundreds of other bugs related to this.

Now if only someone would fix java-dep-check so it actually worked they could close 29 bugs.
Comment 2 Miroslav Ć ulc gentoo-dev 2011-01-19 04:23:30 UTC

See my blog post. http://skaba.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/java-dep-check-0-3-and-weird-bugs-it-dis/

Some may be ignored some may be not.

I just closed one of the ant task bugs as WONTFIX but didn't realise there were a whole load more here. This isn't a problem for ant and we probably don't want to fix it in the usual way either but we should quash the warning somehow.
Comment 5 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2015-04-20 22:24:58 UTC
Looked into this some more.

/usr/bin/ant gathers up the ANT_TASKS and gets the classpath with java-config. By the look of it, this is *not* supposed to include ant itself so that would explain why it has always been marked as a build-only dependency.

In terms of quashing the warning, I figured the best thing to do would be to skip the check if the ant-tasks eclass has been inherited. I'll send a patch around soon.
Comment 6 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2015-04-28 20:59:20 UTC
That patch has been merged and some bugs have been closed. The remaining bugs are probably genuine problems that should be investigated.

What was patched?  Would the removal of ant-tasks.eclass cause any trouble?

Do we still need this empty tracker?
