Description of problem:
With jpackage-utils-1.6.3-1jpp_1rh, ant-1.6.2-3jpp_8fc and the Sun JDK 1.3.1, running ant results in this error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
jpackage-utils-1.6.3-1jpp_1rh

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install the above packages and the Sun JDK 1.3.1, set JAVA_HOME to point to the 1.3.1 JDK, and run "ant".


Actual Results:  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher

With JAVA_HOME pointing to the 1.4 JDK, ant runs fine.

Additional info:

The reason for the above error message is a broken CLASSPATH. Replacing the eval with echo in the last line of /usr/bin/ant shows this:

exec "/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/java" -classpath "/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: JAVAVER_LIBDIR /usr/share/java-1.3.1 does not exist or is not a directory:/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: JAVAVER_LIBDIR /usr/share/java-1.3.1 does not exist or is not a directory:/usr/java/jdk1.3/lib/tools.jar:/opt/oracle10/JRE:/opt/oracle10/jlib:/opt/oracle10/rdbms/jlib:/opt/oracle10/network/jlib" -Dant.home="/usr/share/ant" -Dant.library.dir="/usr/share/ant/lib" org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -lib ""

Apparently one of the shell scripts that initializes the environment before running ant expects /usr/share/java-1.3.1 to exist, and puts its error message into the CLASSPATH.

Manually creating the two directories /usr/share/java-1.3.1 and /usr/lib/java-1.3.1 fixes this problem.

Either these two directories should be added to the jpackage-utils RPM, or the responsible shell script should be modified to ignore non-existant directories.
