I don´t think that was the problem given that the process was hanging for an 
hour.  But, I took your suggestion and just replaced the java call with an 
ant call in the build.sh scripts. Also, I deleted all my older java versions 
as well as ant-gcj, but left fastjar installed.

By the way, there is a build.sh in the src directory. I believe your patch 
missed that one? So there should be four in total. At first I thought your 
patch wasn´t working, but after patching manually realized there was the 
additional build.sh .  Regards, Paul
