I somehow quickly created 1.0.7 deb - by copying ./debian content from
current debian package. I got very messy directory layout, so small
sidenote here. Why is this all so non-FHShis?
- I got jars (kjs.jar, tools.jar) in /usr/lib, when they should be
somewhere in /usr/share (architecutre independant stuff), like
/usr/share/kaffe or sth?
- most of things in /usr/jre (desired to be JAVA_HOME dir I think) -
there's no jre in /usr hirearhy - should be for ex. /usr/lib/kaffe
or sth. like that (maybe /usr/lib/jre, but that can overlap with
others I think)

I may be wrong with sth. here, as the package was created as
"upstream-debianized" - so I don't have a diff between your and
debianized version and it can have some effect here.

quite good now, but not 100% success yet
it does the bootstrap it seems, but when it tries to use itself
to continue it compilation - it fails=20

with setup
CLASSPATH=3D/usr/jre/lib/rt.jar:/usr/jre/lib/rmi.jar:/usr/lib/tools.jar
JAVA_HOME=3D/usr/jre and tried /usr/lib too..
the previous error disappeared, now I am getting this:


/bin/sh bootstrap.sh
... Bootstrapping Ant Distribution
... Compiling Ant Classes
... Copying Required Files
... Building Ant Distribution
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:
check_for_optional_packages:

build:
Created dir: /opt/media/build/ant-1.5/build/lib
Compiling 200 source files to /opt/media/build/ant-1.5/build/classes

file:/opt/media/build/ant-1.5/build.xml:565: Cannot use classic
compiler, as it is not available.  A common solution is to set the
environment variable JAVA_HOME to your jdk directory.


http://www.infozone-group.org/prowlerDocs/html/faqs.html says:
"...the ANT build environment needs access to the Java Compiler class
which is part of tools.jar in JDK 1.2 or greater. (to be found in
[java-home]/lib/tools.jar)"

I of course tried to set JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH, but w/o results.
I think problem lies elsewhere.

that piece of build.xml is this:

    <javac srcdir=3D"${java.dir}"
           destdir=3D"${build.classes}"
           debug=3D"${debug}"
           deprecation=3D"${deprecation}"
           target=3D"${javac.target}"
           optimize=3D"${optimize}" >

From different parts of build.xml:
<property name=3D"src.dir" value=3D"src"/>
<property name=3D"java.dir" value=3D"${src.dir}/main"/>
<property name=3D"build.dir" value=3D"build"/>
<property name=3D"build.classes" value=3D"${build.dir}/classes"/>
<property name=3D"debug" value=3D"true" />
<property name=3D"deprecation" value=3D"false" />
<property name=3D"javac.target" value=3D"1.1" />
<property name=3D"optimize" value=3D"true" />

Can you help me here?

PS: I am using jikes to do the compilation. gcj gives many
warnings and this error right after "... Compiling Ant Classes":
