I attempted to build gluegen in v2.3.1 this morning and encountered a build failure.  First, versions of relevant stuff:

CentOS 6.5
JDK 8u45
ant 1.9.3
git 1.7.1

The git clone instructions say to do this:

git clone --recurse-submodules git://jogamp.org/srv/scm/gluegen.git gluegen

...but that didn't work so I did this instead, which could be part of the problem:

git clone --recursive git://jogamp.org/srv/scm/gluegen.git gluegen

I then checked out v2.3.1, cd'd into the .../gluegen/make subdir and invoked ant.  It churned for a short while then produced this error while executing the generate.java target:

generate.java:

If I back up to v2.3.0 then it builds OK.

What have I messed up?
