Description Bernd Pachur 2008-07-16 14:24:01 UTC 
The environment varibale for ANT_HOME is set to /usr/share/ant but /usr/bin/ant overrides it with a hardcoded ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant-core.

This behaviour effectively breaks ant's optional task, because they are no longer found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo $ANT_HOME and check that it is set to /usr/share/ant
2. run ant -diagnostics
3. see that ant.home is set to /usr/share/ant-core

Actual Results:  
Ant sees ant.home as /usr/share/ant-core while the env-variable is set to /usr/share/ant.
/usr/bin/ant does not use the env-variable.

Expected Results:  
Ant sees ant.home as /usr/share/ant and the optional tasks work.

With ant-1.7.0 everything was fine. This problem startet with ant-1.7.1.

Thanks for reporting, fixed in ant-core-1.7.1-r1. The cause isn't just hardcoding ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant-core which is intentional and done in 1.7.0 too. The problem was that I forgot to update version in the script, so looked in wrong directory (/usr/share/ant/tasks-1.7.0) for tasks to load when ANT_TASKS="all" (or not set at all).
