Description

Initial run of forrest per install instructions failed (first time user).
Downloaded and untarred 0.6 dist.
set env var FORREST_HOME in bash
added FORREST_HOME/bin to path.
cd'd into top-level and entered 'forrest' on cmd line

Result was this:
Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options

/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: could not find ant-launcher Java extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: All specified jars were not found


I downloaded and tried an Apr28 snapshot with similar results.
(it complained it needed to be built first. Running the build script gave the same error as above)
