The Ant's rmic task (even in the newest versions I saw) does not provide the
'extdirs' option which is provided by Sun's rmic utility (and by the javac
task). This caused me some problems in building my server code so I added
the support to the \src\main\org\apache\tools\ant\taskdefs\rmci.java module.
The fix (using Ant v1.3 sources) was trivial because the compiler class
already supports it - I actually copied all the relevant lines from the
javac.java task module.
Now if someone would be able to make it a part of the official rmic task,
that would be nice!
Thanks
