Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Keith Hazelton <>]

Did the chmod. Now ant executes, but I have to set ANT_HOME to /usr/share/ant 
or it can't find the ..launch/Launcher class. 

When I set ANT_HOME that way, and run the Grouper ant, I'm back to the 
missing class problem (the class 
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.PropertyFile was not found):
----------
export ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant
[root@arche
 grouper.ui-2.1.2]# /opt/grouper-2.1.2/apache-ant-1.8.2/bin/ant war
Buildfile: build.xml


war:


dist:


-setup:


-choose-webapp:


BUILD FAILED
/opt/grouper-2.1.2/grouper.ui-2.1.2/build.xml:225: The following error 
occurred while executing this line:
/opt/grouper-2.1.2/grouper.ui-2.1.2/build.xml:189: The following error 
occurred while executing this line:
/opt/grouper-2.1.2/grouper.ui-2.1.2/build.xml:713: Problem: failed to create 
task or type propertyfile
Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.PropertyFile was not 
found.
 This looks like one of Ant's optional components.
Action: Check that the appropriate optional JAR exists in
 -/usr/share/ant/lib
 -/root/.ant/lib
 -a directory added on the command line with the -lib argument


Do not panic, this is a common problem.
The commonest cause is a missing JAR.


This is not a bug; it is a configuration problem
