anyone going to bung org.apache.tools.ant into lib on head? doesn't  
compile, if there's any room left in there ;)

you may ignore all mails from me today as I seem to be having trouble  
with directories!

What is happening about a script to take you (at least) from 2.4 to  
2.6 re: schema?

The apache Ant tasks (and their JAR, catalina-ant.jar) are only needed 
if you are attempting to use any of the tomcat tasks. You should be able 
to run the "all" task fine without having catalina-ant on your classpath.

The reason it isn't in CVS at the moment is that the catalina-ant.jar is 
something that the developer should provide as depending on the version 
of tomcat you are trying to deploy against depends on the version of 
this JAR you want.

If you want to use the tomcat ant tasks just add them to your ant 
classpath (~/.ant/lib or $ANT_HOME/lib/).
http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#libs
You should also be able to do the same with your IDE.

It is the same situation with junit. There isn't a junit JAR as 
developers should already have one and just need to add it to their ant 
classpath.

This is why I was questioning having the ant JAR in the project. All 
developers should have a copy of this on their local machine.

Sorry I misread your mail as org.apache.catalina.ant

This is a subtle borderline issue I think ;-).

I didn't add ant.jar originally, as the TemplateBuilderTask.java which 
depends on it, gets compiled on the fly when you execute the build.xml. 
If you're not using Ant to compile Bodington, well then I wish you luck 
in configuring your IDE to create the web-app!

You can always configure your IDE to ignore the (otherwise superfluous) 
file mentioned above, especially if you're uninterested in compiling 
templates standalone.

Having said that I'm not going to remove the jar, but just thought I 
should explain why I didn't originally add it.
