> Building Derby doesn't work out of the box in NetBeans. The wiki page
> http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/BuildingDerby instructs NetBeans users to
> specify the ant.library.dir property in order to get the build working.
> The Ant documentation says the following about the ant.library.dir property:
> "The following property is only set if Ant is started via the Launcher class
> (which means it may not be set inside IDEs either)"
> Since the property is not guaranteed to be set, I suggest that we replace
> references to "${ant.library.dir}/ant.jar" with references to
> "${ant.core.lib}" in the build scripts. According to the above mentioned Ant
> manual page the ant.core.lib property should always be available and point to
> ant.jar. Changing this makes it possible to build Derby from NetBeans with no
> special customization.
