Description Paul Michael Reilly 2004-05-25 11:44:19 UTC 
Description of problem:  Environment/property failure in association
with Ant via Emacs' compile mode (M-x compile).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
Emacs 21.3
Ant 1.6.1 (installed using binary download into /usr/local/ant)

How reproducible: Run the attached build file as directed and Ant will
fail with an exception.


Steps to Reproduce:
0. Install Ant 1.6.1 into /usr/local/ant and add /usr/local/ant/bin to
the front of the command search path.
1. Copy the attached build.xml file to some directory.
2. Invoke Emacs and execute `M-x compile' to run the command "ant"
from the directory containing the build.xml file.
3. Observe the exception shown in the attached error file.
  
Actual results:  Ant takes a
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException exception

Expected results:  No exception, "Hello World!" is output in the
*compilation* buffer.

Additional info:  It is not clear to me where this issue really
belongs.  Emacs is my best guess.  The problem did not exist with FC1,
nor does it fail with Ant 1.5.2-26 and does not fail when executed via
a command shell (M-x shell).

Comment 3 Paul Michael Reilly 2004-05-25 12:01:50 UTC 
One more thing.  To work around the problem, I used the following
command, which is kind of telling:  "env -> /dev/null; ant"
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2004-09-29 15:59:24 UTC 
What does "M-x compile env" give you?
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2005-05-18 03:35:04 UTC 
ant is now included in Fedora Core development btw.

Could you try to retest and re-open if there is still a problem?
