(using jdk 1.3)

Seems like you dont have JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar in Ant's classpath.

Next, if you have Ant 1.2 (especially Debian's) & jdk1.3 (well, you
have this one) and have problems with:

1) undefined ${major}

or

2) Zip* error: cannot create archive with no entries (from memory,
   cant remember exact message)

then use this patch:

[for some reason (core people did not have this configuretion)]
it did not reach main tree.
