Re: [BUGS] Bug #926: if old postgresql.jar in CLASSPATH,

Can someone explain to me why this change fixes the problem?

I don't understand why including 'includeAntRuntime="no"' in the javac
tag will cause the compile to no longer pick up old versions of the
driver that may be around. There are two cases that I am familiar with
of this problem: 1) there is a old postgresql jdbc jar file in the
CLASSPATH environment, and 2) there is an old jar in the jre/lib/ext
directory. I can see where this patch might prevent 1 (although the
property name and doc aren't very clear on that) but I don't see how it
would fix 2.

thanks,
