Package: ant Version: 1.6.2-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
After having done a clean re-install of my system, I can't help but wonder whether ant's JDK functionality truely requires that JAVA_HOME be set by the user. I realize that the details are skim, but I stumbled across: http://www.ozone-db.org/ozone-users/11-2000/msg00087.html which claimed that with newer JDKs JAVA_HOME could be determined even if it wasn't set. Even if this couldn't be handled in the absolutely general case, perhaps it could at least be made to work automatically with one of the standard Debian JDKs, or with one installed with java-package.
