Ant problems and solutions

New version doesn't work?

When upgrading to a new version of ant the ant script

$ANT_HOME/bin/ant

will probably need editing. The default action (at least on flavors of unix) is to execute the configuration script at /etc/ant.conf.

This script will reset your ANT_HOME to the installed version.

Find the lines

  # load system-wide ant configuration
  if [ -f "/etc/ant.conf" ] ; then
    . /etc/ant.conf
  fi

and comment them out.
