no, the Gump descriptor has been broken before.

While compiling the tests Ant didn't see the main classes it had just
compiled. It could only see those of the bootstrap-ant project.

The only explanation of why it has worked before I have is that
bootstrap-ant has contained the classes that depend on jakarta-regexp
before and now no longer does. And as Xalan contains the regex classes
(I think the build has used the "unbundled" Xalan jar which does not
contain regexp because of this, may be wrong) the classes and tests
would be compiled now.

Anyway, the "ant" project has just been built successfully. Let's see
what breaks next.
