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,
--Barry
