Hi Peter, I like what you mention. I located and looked at the file fetch.xml. I would like to pursue this avenue. But I am clueless as to how I can "invoke" this xml file. Would you please tell me how I can do so? Thank you.

The optional tasks/types need jars to be downloaded and placed in $ANT_SRC/lib/optional. I normally compile a subset of ant for testing. To compile all of ant, one needs non publiclly available jars (weblogic, starteam and others). The file fetch.xml gets most of the publically available jars and places then in the currect place (depending on how fetch.xml is called - check the fetch.xml file for a read me). PeterI have an automated script to build ANT. First, the script empties CLASSPATH, sets JAVA_HOME and PATH. Then copies all necessary jarsinto$ANT_DIR/lib/optional folder, deletes $ANT_DIR/bootstrap, and runs "call build.bat distribution". There can be additional steps to make ANT to forget about anypreviouslyinstalled ANT on your system. - Alexey. Tena Sakai wrote:Hi, Sorry to repost, but I haven't got much response... I am having a problem with installing ant 1.7.0 from source on redhat enterprise server (amd-64). What happens is that when I issue a command: sh build.sh -Ddist.dir=/usr/local/ant dist it complains that a bunch of jar files were not built because no files were included. For example: /usr/local/ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/build/lib/ant-apache-regexp.jar According to the instruction on website: Make sure you have downloaded any auxiliary jars required to build tasks you are interested in. These should be added to the lib/optional directory of the source tree. I went and got jakarta-regexp-1.5.tar.gz, gunzip'ed, untar'ed and found a file jakarta-regexp.jar (as well asjakarta-regexp-1.5.jar,which turns out to be the same as the other), and copied it into ...src/lib/optional directory (which didn't exist; so I created it). I tried with 'sh build.sh bla bla' once again, but the result is the same as before, it seems. I have tried to put the jar file into a different lib/optional directories, but the result seems the same through out. I am at wit's end as to how to interpret this instruction (one more time): Make sure you have downloaded any auxiliary jars required to build tasks you are interested in. These should be added to the lib/optional directory of the source tree. I am starting to feel it is a mistake to follow the instruction above to letters. Maybe, instead, I need to provide java source files and the build process will make jar files out of the source code and put them into a destination? Is there somebody out there (I am sure the answer is yes) who have done this and willing to give me a hand, please? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
