Because the distro's /etc/ant.conf *always* sets the ANT_HOME it interferes with the alternate installation Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ant-1.6.2-3jpp_4fc How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install an alternate copy of ant somewhere and set ANT_HOME to the new path 2. change into the ant copy directory and run ant from its bin directory 3. Actual Results: The distro copy of ant is used. This is very noticable because my ant copy will have a special ant task jar in the ant copy's lib directory. My ant builds will fail because the /etc/ant.conf forces the ant to use the distro directories. Expected Results: /etc/ant.conf should leave ANT_HOME untouched if it is already set so that other invocations of ant will use their correct home directory Additional info:
