I do include the following libraries with my javac and java target:

 <path id="classpath">
     <pathelement location="${lib.dir}" />
     <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/drools-api-5.0.1.jar" />
     <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/drools-compiler-5.0.1.jar" />
     <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/drools-core-5.0.1.jar" />
     <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/janino-2.5.15.jar" />
 </path>

Here is the Java code that is throwing the error. I commented out the java.compiler code, that didn't work either.

public void rules() {

/*
final Properties properties = new Properties(); 
properties.setProperty( "drools.dialect.java.compiler", "JANINO" ); 
PackageBuilderConfiguration cfg = new PackageBuilderConfiguration( properties ); 
JavaDialectConfiguration javaConf = (JavaDialectConfiguration) 
cfg.getDialectConfiguration( "java" ); 
*/
final KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();

// this will parse and compile in one step
kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource("HelloWorld.drl", Rules.class), ResourceType.DRL);

// Check the builder for errors
if (kbuilder.hasErrors()) {
    System.out.println(kbuilder.getErrors().toString());
    throw new RuntimeException("Unable to compile \"HelloWorld.drl\".");
}

// Get the compiled packages (which are serializable)
final Collection<KnowledgePackage> pkgs = kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages();

// Add the packages to a knowledgebase (deploy the knowledge packages).
final KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();
kbase.addKnowledgePackages(pkgs);

final StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
ksession.setGlobal("list", new ArrayList<Object>());

ksession.addEventListener(new DebugAgendaEventListener());
ksession.addEventListener(new DebugWorkingMemoryEventListener());

// Setup the audit logging
KnowledgeRuntimeLogger logger = KnowledgeRuntimeLoggerFactory.newFileLogger(ksession, "log/helloworld");

final Message message = new Message();
message.setMessage("Hello World");
message.setStatus(Message.HELLO);
ksession.insert(message);

ksession.fireAllRules();
logger.close();
ksession.dispose();

}

...

Here I don't think Ant is relevant because I have fork set to true:

 <target name="test" depends="compile">
     <java classname="org.berlin.rpg.rules.Rules" fork="true">
         <classpath refid="classpath.rt" />
         <classpath>
             <pathelement location="${basedir}" />
             <pathelement location="${build.classes.dir}" />
         </classpath>
     </java>
 </target>

The error is thrown at line 1.

Basically, I haven't done anything except call

final KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();

I am running with Windows XP, Java6, and within Ant.1.7. The most recent (as of yesterday) version 5 of Drools-Rules.
