The <java> task doesn't seem to do a very good job of letting you run
a jar file (e.g. "java -jar foo.jar").  It requires you to provide a
classname attribute, which isn't needed in this case.  With Ant 1.1,
I just used
classname=""
but Ant 1.2 complains about this.  For now, I'm using
classname=" "
(a space) and it seems to work.  But I thought someone might want to
fix this before things break further.
