Description of problem: When rpm_mode=true, Ant has problems locating and using a jarfile that exists in ~/.ant/lib Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install subversion, ant, ant-junit, ant-nodeps, and an Oracle JDK. 2. > svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk 3. > cd trunk 4. > ant ivy-bootstrap 5. Observe that a jar for ivy has been downloaded to ~/.ant/lib. 6. > ant 7. Observe that it fails to find ivy. 8a. Comment out rpm_mode=true in ant.conf. 8b. OR: Add rpm_mode=false to ~/.ant/ant.conf 9. > ant 10. Observe that ivy is found and that ant proceeds to run Lucene tests. 11. Download Ant from apache's website. 12. Configure ANT_HOME. 13. > /path/to/downloaded/ant 14. Observe that once again ivy is found and works. Additional info: I'm not 100% sure that I've listed all the package requirements The ivy jar is shown when echoing java.class.path and rpm_mode=true, so I don't know why it isn't found. CentOS release 6.0 (Final) Repos used: base, updates, extras, centosplus, contrib, cr, epel, rpmforge. Also happens on a CentOS 6.2 system. Lucene bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3946
Others have reported having the same problem with some releases of Fedora. I have not tried this on 5.x.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
I'm reasonably certain that this probably still affects version 7. On the Lucene/Solr mailing lists, we have to frequently tell people that they cannot use the redhat-packaged version of ant to build our software. They must download ant themselves and set ANT_HOME.
