Thanks. That is what I did. I downloaded the latest ant source. I just tried the build the basic ant without any auxiliary jars. All I need ant for at this point is compiling Apache Tomcat, but when I try to build ant I get those errors I reported. 51 of them total. I've tried it with both JDK 1.5 and the latest JDK 1.6.
Sounds like ant simply won't build on Solaris 10 SPARC?
