[kepler-dev] ant test fails because ant directory cannot be written

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi David,
As a lark, I thought I'd run "ant test".
The first time I ran it, I had to set ANT_HOME.
It would be nice if the build system could figure out ANT_HOME for
us.  However, this is not required.

A more pressing problem is that "ant test" tries to update
$ANT_HOME, which on my machine is owned by root.

The output is below:
--start--
bash-3.2$ ant test
Buildfile: build.xml

compile:
   [compile] Compiling ptolemy...
   [compile] <<< The module is ptolemy. Setting includes and excludes....
   [compile] Compiling 1 source file to 
/Users/cxh/src/kepler/ptolemy/target/classes
   [compile] Compiling common...
   [compile] Compiling directors...
   [compile] Compiling actors...
   [compile] Compiling core...
   [compile] Compiling util...
   [compile] Compiling loader...

test:
      [test] Copying 1 file to /usr/share/ant/lib

BUILD FAILED
/Users/cxh/src/kepler/build-area/build.xml:55: 
/Users/cxh/src/kepler/build-area/build.xml:55: Failed to copy 
/Users/cxh/src/kepler/build-area/ant-tasks/lib/junit-4.5.jar to 
/usr/share/ant/lib/junit-4.5.jar due to java.io.FileNotFoundException 
/usr/share/ant/lib/junit-4.5.jar (Permission denied)
--end--

Is there any workaround?

I'd like to run the tests as part of the little nightly build I'm
running here at Berkeley.
