Erk. You're absolutely right. Under 1.2 it fails due to the lack of Collections.EMPTY_MAP (introduced in 1.3). A new install of 1.3 is giving me libstdc++ errors, which makes it too painful to try with, but I bet that dies for some reason or other too.

The difference being, I've got trust in the standard Maven process that I use every day, and surprise at seeing a custom written build.xml; while you trust your custom build.xml over Maven's black box. > > I've always used Maven on Commons projects (when mavenized) because I > > don't have to worry about whether the custom Ant script is > > sufficiently customised (or evne up to date as most are generated from > > Maven).

I'll redo it with Ant and see if things get better.
