Debian or derivative?

A friend of mine told me last weekend that you need to apt-get both
ant and ant-optional.

HTH,

Erik.

A Google search for your error string [shows that this Debian does need 
the ant-optional package][1] (look at issue 7 at the bottom of the page).

As far as I know, this error is a result of Debian-specific packaging of 
Ant, not that ABCL is using the so-called optional tasks of Ant.  One 
should always be able [use the Ant binary package][2] to build ABCL. 
Please inform me if this is not the case.

Maybe we should add this to the README? Just to prevent a Bad First
Impression (BFI) with Ant to affect us, when we can prevent so.

Bye,

Erik.

Or even better, somehow detect the presence/absence of the desired module
and tell the user upon ant invocation?

Amen to that one brother!

I installed the optional ant stuff and it now builds.

Thanks.
