[ome-users] OMERO failing to build - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpMatcher

[Renato Alves]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to build the python interface. In order to do this
I fetched the code from svn (both trunk and tag omero-4.0.3) and did:

ant build-py

After a couple of minutes of building, eventually it fails with the error:

icegen2:

BUILD FAILED
/home/rjalves/omero-python/omero-4.0.3/build.xml:171: The following

Could not create type regexpmapper due to No supported regular
expression matcher found: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpMatcher

The versions of the software I'm using are the following:

Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on April 29 2008
Ice - 3.3.1 (tried with and without the slice2 extras)
Java - Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08) / Java
HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

this on a Debian 64-bit machine running 'testing' (aka squeeze).

I also get a few other deprecation warnings and log4j giving a non fatal
error about being improperly setup.

Am I missing something or maybe version mismatch?

Thanks for all help,
Renato
