The script to run ant uses java-config to add jars to the claspath for ant but ignores any jars added to ${ANT_HOME}/lib. Any jars added to this dir are supposed to be added to the classpath used by ant. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new jar with an ant task defined it 2. Try to use that taskdef 3. Actual Results: I get NoClassDefFoundError for the classes trying to reference the new code.
Created attachment 50360 [details, diff] Patch for fixing CLASSPATH as described Comments in patch
can you verify that just removing 'ant-core,ant-tasks' from the LOCALCLASSPATH= java-config -p line, makes things work too?
shoud be fixed in 1.6.5-r1
