For what it's worth, a novice jboss builder's impression: I allocated
half a day to work through the usual incompatibilities, fired off the
build, found and fixed the ANT_HOME problem in 1 minute, reran and...it
worked! Amazing. Congrats to whoever set it up.
I did what I'm sure others encountering the problem will do--changed
build.bat to unset ANT_HOME. It would be convenient for others if this
was always done, as suggested.
I suppose it would be handy to do a dependency check like Red Hat rpm or
provide a way to selectively override the build jars, but I doubt that
it's worth the bother.

Subject: RE: [JBoss-dev] requirements for build
Trying to support everyone's different environment is really not
possible.
There are currently 15 non-standard libraries used by some part of the
build system, which means that every user who wants to use their own
ANT_HOME, would have to have the exact same version for complete
compatiblity.
It is not just about the buildmagic stuff, there are required xslt jars
for
the testsuite & manual, junit to actually run the tests and so on.
It might be possible with future versions of ant to support this, but
for
now there are better things to work on.
Right now using the build.sh & build.bat scripts (or the ant scripts
from
tools/bin) are the only methods for building the system which are
directly
supported.
If you would like to build from something else, I can probably help you
set
it up.
There is a better way to deal with all of these support jars, I just
haven't
figure out what it is yet.
