The AndroMDA distribution and the CVS directory structure are slightly
different.
In the distribution the sample is located at:
  andromda/sample

In CVS the sample directory is located at:
  andromda/src/sample

The way I did things in the past was I would build AndroMDA from CVS and
then point my AndroMDA home to:
 andromda/dist/predist

That way I end up using a directory structure exactly like the distribution
structure.
The build could certainly be improved.

This makes me think your AndroMDA build did not work properly and this is
probably because different locations of the sample directory in  the
distribution and CVS.

Getting the sample running from the distribution files I think is relatively
straight forward - except that I agree the build.properties file is
needlessly complex.  I think it is the building of AndroMDA from CVS that
you are having problems with.

Hopefully we will improve this before the next release (beta?).
