Ah. You downloaded, the binary. You need to download the source distribution.
http://apache.gr-linux.com/jakarta/velocity-tools/source/velocity-tools-1.2-src.zip I believe the tutorial says to get the source, though it probably just mentioned it in passing, rather than making it clear. On 9/25/06, Brenton Strine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
There is no file called "build.xml" in velocity-tools-1.2.zip anywhere. I even did a search. I *have* typed the ant commands in the root directory of the velocity tools. Maybe I'm confused about what the root directory is. I unzipped velocity tools into "C:\vtools". (So that inside C:\vtools is a folder called "velocity-tools-1.2".)I then opened the shell, navigated to "C:\vtools", and typed the commands. I also navigated to "C:\vtools\velocity-tools-1.2" and typed the ant commands. I also have tried doing this with the velocity tools unzipped in the same directory as I have velocity itself in. Brenton By the way, this is the zip I've been downloading. Perhaps I have the wrong file?? http://apache.gr-linux.com/jakarta/velocity-tools/binarie s/velocity-tools-1.2.zip -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Bubna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 12:49 PM To: Velocity Users List Subject: Re: Installing velocity Where is the build.xml? Your command prompt should be working in the directory where the build.xml file is for ant to find it. So, after you unzipped the velocity-tools distribution, go to the root directory of it and then type the ant command(s).
