    There is a bug in the Solaris reference implementation of - the JDK (see http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4230399.html). - This also appears to be true under Linux. Moving the JDK to - the front of the PATH fixes the problem.

    Ant < 1.5 doesn't recognize Windows XP as a flavor - of Windows that runs CMD.EXE instead of - COMMAND.COM. JDK 1.3 will tell Ant that Windows - XP is Windows 2000 so the problem doesn't show up - there.

    This problem has been reported only hours after Ant 1.5 has - been released, see Bug - 10664 and all its duplicates.

    -

    A fixed version of the wrapper script can be found here. - Simply replace your script with this version.

    -

    Yes, it is.

    -

    The problem reported by most people - see Bug - 17648 and all its duplicates - is that Ant creates - archives that a partially unreadable by WinZIP. Luckily - jar deals with the archives and so the generated - jars/wars/ears will most likely work for you anyway.

    -

    There are additional problems, see bugs Bug - 17780, Bug - 17871 and Bug - 18403. All of them are supposed to be fixed with Ant - 1.5.3 (and only 18403 should exist in 1.5.3beta1).

    -

    This is a know bug that has been fixed after the release of - Ant 1.6.1.

    -

    As a workaround, run your <java> task with - fork="true" and Ant will display the full - trace.

    The XML formatter needs the DOM classes to work. If you - are using JDK 1.4 or later they are included with your Java - Runtime and this problem won't occur. If you are running JDK - 1.3 or earlier, the DOM classes have to be on your - <junit> task's <classpath>.

    -

    Prior to Ant 1.6.0 Ant would include the DOM classes from - the XML parser that is used by Ant itself if you set the - includeAntRuntime attribute to true (the default). With Ant - 1.6.0 this has been changed as this behavior made it - impossible to use a different XML parser in your tests.

    -

    This means that you have to take care of the DOM classes - explicitly starting with Ant 1.6.0. If you don't need to set - up a different XML parser for your tests, the easiest solution - is to add

    - 
    -<pathelement path="${ant.home}/lib/xml-apis.jar:${ant.home}/lib/xercesImpl.jar"/>

    to your task's <classpath>.

    While JDK 1.4.x contains a version of Xalan-J 2, JDK 1.5 - (and later?) have moved - to XSLTC. Since this task uses Xalan's redirect - extensions for its internal stylesheet, Ant prior to 1.6.2 didn't support - XSLTC. This means that you have to install Xalan-J 2 in order - to use this task with JDK 1.5 in older versions of Ant.

    Starting with Ant 1.6.2 <junitreport> - supports JDK 1.5.
