OK, we got past the ant bootstrap problem. xerces is the new stumbling block (http://brutus.apache.org/gump/kaffe/xml-xerces2/xml-xerces/gump_work/build_xml-xerces2_xml-xerces.html)

Am adding the following line: <sysproperty name="build.compiler" value="jikes"/> to /home/gump/workspaces2/kaffe/gump/work/merge.xml Let's see how far we get with that tomorrow.
