Unable to load dependency analyzer

Hi, i have problem building ejb with ant 1.5.1
<target name="build-appserver-borland">
<echo message="Building EJB Jar file ......"/>
<ejbjar srcdir="${project_home}/classes"
basejarname="projectEJB"
descriptordir="${project_home}/src/xml/"
classpath="${project_home}/src/lib;${project_home}/src/libx">
<borland destdir="${project_home}" verify="on" version="4" />
<include name="${project_home}/src/xml/ejb-jar.xml"/>
<exclude name="${project_home}/src/xml/ejb-inprise.xml"/>
</ejbjar>
<echo message="Building EJB Jar file ...... SUCCESS"/>
</target>
Problem:
[ejbjar] Unable to load dependency analyzer: org.apache.tools.ant.util.depend.bcel.AncestorAnalyzer
Question:
"org.apache.tools.ant.util.depend.bcel.AncestorAnalyzer" is in my %ANT_HOME%\lib\optional.jar
I do not understand why it is not loading? can anyone explain to me?
projectEJB.jar is the output jar
${project_home}/src/xml/ is where my descriptors are.
${project_home}/src/lib/ stores required libraries for ejbs
${project_home}/src/libx/ stores borland specific libraries such as asrt.jar....
System variables
Set ANT_HOME=D:\libraries\jakarta-ant-1.5.1
Set Path=%Path%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\lib;

Hmm ... that should work. You don't need ANT_HOME/lib in your path, but I don't see why that would hurt anything. You're picking up the EJB Jar task all right, which is also in optional.jar. Maybe that jar got corrupted? You could try downloading it again.

Charles,
Even I am facing the same problem as reported by Jeffrey.
As per your suggestion I downloaded the jar file again , however it did not help.
I did look at the java.class.path variable in the build.xml I am using and it shows the optional.jar in the classpath list.
Any suggestions ?

Don't call me Charles. However, that suggestion doesn't really solve your problem, does it?
It looks like this is a legitimate bug. Although optional.jar does have org.apache.tools.ant.util.depend.bcel.AncestorAnalyzer, that class uses org.apache.bcel.classfile.ClassParser, which optional.jar doesn't have, nor does any other jar that I can find. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe the next version of Ant will fix that problem, but you may want to submit a bug report to them.

Found it! You guys really owe me. What you need is bcel.jar in your ANT_HOME/lib directory. That can be found at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-bcel/release/v5.0/
Download the bcel-5.0.zip, and bcel.jar is in there.

Thanks a lot buddy.
It works with the bcel-5.0.zip

Thanks in advance ..
