NOTES ON ANT 1.6 USAGE
========================
* Ant 1.5 is not supported due to bug in GNU Classpath's implementation of
zip compression classes (getting into an infinite loop). Ant 1.6 works,
as it has own implementation of these.
* If you use 'java-sablevm' then Ant 1.6 should basically "just work" because
it does the following things:
1. Adds /usr/share/java/gnujaxp.jar to classpath -- needed for regular
expresions which are used to analyze build.xml file,
2. Sets BOOTCLASSPATH to /usr/share/sablevm/sablevm-classpath -- needed
because ANT is very Sun-centric and does not pass our boot.class.path
to jikes properly (yes, you should use jikes w/ SableVM); fortunatelly
jikes allows us to set this environmental variable.
This means that if you use 'java-sablevm' you DO NOT NEED to do the above
operations by hand.
* But if you want to use 'sablevm' command directly, then you should take care
of setting classpath right and BOOTCLASSPATH environmental variable as
described above. This is only needed in situations, like when you want to
use ant1.6 calling it directly, "by hand".
