Bug Description

Binary package hint: ant

When I install Java 6 (runtime and JDK) and then install Ant afterwards, the path for Ant is wrong. It is looking for Java 4 in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/lib/tools.jar instead of /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/lib/tools.jar.

This of course means that anything using Ant for Java development doesn't work, including KDevelop.

This works fine in Edgy, just not Feisty.

Can it be that java-gcj-compat was installed before you installed SUNs Java 6? Where /etc/alternatives/java link to?

Can you please try to "sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun"? This should make ant use SUN Java 6 instead of GCJ.

This was fixed with the final release of Feisty. I forgot to tell that i found this bug in the Feisty RC (see the date?).
