Re: ANTS query

Welcome to Openet, Christos,

The possible reason is that your JDK version is different from us. Right
now, Accelar only supports JDK 1.1.7 and all the classes in accelar/ants
are compiled with that JDK. Use JDk 1.1.7 or remove all classes before
compiling under JDK 1.2.2.

Actually you do not need recompilation if programs run for testing only.
Use the pre-compiled jar packages instead.
