Not Ant's 8-) > Is it appropriate to rely on the presence of $ANT_HOME/lib/ant.jar > (doesn't seem entirely unreasonable to me)? I wouldn't rely on ANT_HOME being set at all, but if it is, then I think it's reasonable to assume it points to a directory hierarchy like the one created by Ant's binary distributions. > Is it appropriate to ignore the user's CLASSPATH in the process > (seems less reasonable)? There are good reasons to do so if you want to ensure you get exactly the version of a library that you need. I don't think this is the case here, though. > Should the JPackage RPM provide a symlink to conform to the file > layout expected by Ant "clients"? Probably, yes.
