This is the normal behaviour from upstream: You need to manually add
external JARs (e.g. bcel.jar) to your class path. Or you can create a
symlink in /usr/share/ant/lib so it gets automatically added.
I don't know how this should be solved differently: I can't add all
possible externals JARs to /usr/share/ant/lib in the Debian package. If
I did, I would have to depend on these packages which other people don't
like (see the recent thread on -java).
