ok, with a little help from Chad I managed to get it working. The way to go if you need use ant is:
1) download the latest distribution ( http://team.andromda.org/maven/andromda/distributions ) and unzip it 2) go to the and directory and execute the build.xml file (by invoking ant ...) - and make sure you read the readme file and do what it says this will generate you a sample project structure similar to the one 'maven andromdapp::generate' would do, except that the build scripts are ant based, not maven. 3) invoke 'ant mda' and code will be generate. I've got an error from one of the cartdriges (struts or ejb, I don't remember) but I think that's due to the fact that I was using a night build. Anways, I was only interested in using the java cartdrige and that worked, so I didn't really care about it. That's about it, after that, it just works. Because I'm not interested at all in the struts / persistence / etc code generation - all I want is generate java code from my uml model - I made the mda module from the generated application independent. To do so I merged the build.properties files from the mda module and from the app root, and removed all properties not concerning the java cartdridge. I created a lib directory in which I copied the jar files from the DISTRIBUTION/ant/lib directory. In order to keep it working I had to adjust the value of the moduleSearchLocations tag in conf/andromda.xml As a feature request I'd say it would be helpful to have a feature to also generate a simple code generation project that would only use the java cartdridge, along with the j2ee project generation. I think it would be more simple for beginers to understand the basic concepts. Also, I think I'm not the only one that only needs the java cartdrige. For me and the others in the same situation, the j2ee project is too verbose and a little bit confusing, in the begining. Hope this will help you get started with ant.
