Using Apr 6 release32 sources, I noticed many problems with classpaths when running from inside the IDE, and using a separated binroot. It seems that a number of modules assume that ant.jar, tools.jar, and DOM and SAX and JAXP APIs will be in their classpath without having to ask for it. Note that the patch to nbbuild/build.xml is not appropriate for the trunk: in the trunk, it should rather use pathelement="${binroot}/nbbuild/lib/ant.jar" to compile against Ant. Also avoiding cleaning test directories for ant & apisupport during general clean, in practice this is undesirable (and they do not affect a complete build anyway). Also for ant/build.xml, assuming that Ant 1.3 is running the build--this is now a safe assumption, correct? Also splitting apart test targets for apisupport, no effect on regular build.
Created attachment 1039 [details] Suggested patch to various build scripts
This seems to have been applied in the trunk. Michal, do you use the patch command? It looks like you applied the patch by hand, because there are some typos and omissions in it. Much safer to apply patches using patch(1) or Emacs' Ediff or something like this. I am checking in an emergency patch to apisupport/build.xml because after the last commit it is not even valid XML. Will attach desired extra patches for ant/build.xml and nbbuild/build.xml. For Ant, the patch needs to be slightly different for the trunk version. For nbbuild, my comment below was ignored, so attaching patch for that.

Created attachment 1199 [details] Patch to correct further errors in apisupport/build.xml (already committed to trunk)
Created attachment 1200 [details] Further patch to correct more errors (not applied in trunk yet)
Patched attachment id=1200 commited to trunk
Created attachment 1250 [details] Proposed patch for release32 RC4
Not all of this patch is correct, I think. I will attach an unapplied patch against 3.2 I have been working with; this may not be perfect either, but shows that there are some diffs missing at least in apisupport and autoupdate scripts, perhaps in others too. The test of course is to run with -Dbuild.sysclasspath=ignore and make sure everything works.
Created attachment 1252 [details] Alternate patch, similar to above one
Target milestone -> 3.3
Fixed in trunk. ant extensions are compiled against nbbuild/lib/ant.jat from extra binaries, autoupdate compilation classpath fixed too (added xerces.jar)
