Bug#297665: libant1.6-java: FTBFS: Cannot find sablevm libs

[Daniel Schepler]

Package: libant1.6-java
Severity: serious
Version: 1.6.2-2

>From my build log, using pbuilder in an i386 chroot:

...
/bin/sh bootstrap.sh
Warning: JAVA_HOME environment variable not set.
  If build fails because sun.* classes could not be found
  you will need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable
  to the installation directory of java.
... Bootstrapping Ant Distribution
... Compiling Ant Classes

Found 1 system error and issued 1 warning:

*** Semantic Warning: I/O warning: "No such file or directory" while trying to open /usr/share/sablevm/sablevm-classpath.


*** Semantic Error: You need to modify your classpath, sourcepath, bootclasspath, and/or extdirs setup. Jikes could not find package "java.lang" in: 
                /usr/share/sablevm/sablevm-classpath
                /usr/share/java/jaxp-1.2.jar
                build/classes
                src/main
                lib/xercesImpl.jar
                lib/xml-apis.jar
                /usr/share/java/junit.jar
                .

... Failed compiling Ant classes !
make: *** [debian/build-stamp] Error 1

Changing that path to /usr/share/sablevm-classpath/libclasspath.jar in
debian/rules, I then get a NullPointerException:
