Done.
After I replaced the jar files, I found that the libraries I had in
$HOME/.ant/lib weren't being used, which is one reason why I had wanted
to upgrade to 1.6.5, since this feature is new in 1.6. I looked through
both the old and new ant startup scripts, and could not find where this
was occurring. As a result, I replaced the old startup script with the
new startup script.
The old startup script had a bunch of stuff that wasn't really necessary
removed -- I left it in the new script since it doesn't hurt and to keep
it more standard.
The old script always used Java 1.4.1_01 in the java_v1.4.1_01 locker.
The script as shipped with the package uses the first occurrence of Java
in the path. I modified the script to use the path unless it can't find
Java, in which case it uses the copy in /mit/java/current.
This specifically does not use /mit/java/bin/java, because the java
locker wrapper script seems to convert 'java -cp ""' into 'java -cp'.
I've reported this in Casetracker case 884941. (There's also an RCS log
message that says /mit/java/bin/java doesn't work, but that appears to
be for a different reason that probably doesn't apply anymore.)
