I'm trying to use Ant to run PMD, but it tells me that it can't find the Objectweb asm classes. Specifically:
build.xml:526: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/objectweb/asm/ClassVisitor
I have the objectweb-asm package installed, with the jar files in /usr/share/java/objectweb-asm. I made symbolic links to the asm jar files from ~/.ant/lib/, but that doesn't change anything. Nor does making symbolic links to the jar file from inside /usr/share/java.
So, how do I make this work?
I'm using PMD 4.2.5, Ant 1.8.4, and objectweb-asm 3.3.1-7
The full error message from Ant:
