Cause:

In 4.3.0 we have removed CloverEnvTask which was adding clover.jar to bootclasspath (as in JDK9 such hack is no longer allowed). This clover.jar was used to load high-level targets (like "with.clover"), which can be easily declared in Ant build.xml.

Side effect is that the Ant task is unable to find the CloverCompilerAdapter specified in the build.compiler property - the classloader sees Ant JARs only...

Workaround:

Copy clover.jar to ANT_HOME\lib directory.

Fix:

See http://openclover.org/doc/manual/latest/ant--adding-to-ants-classpath.html
