hi
i'm new to the list so apologies if this one has been asked before.
i'm using jakarta-ant version 3.0 to build some ejb's and in an initial
script attempt i've been unable to get past a problem with using 'ant' to
build sub-projects
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="ejb" default="buildSubProject" basedir=".">
<target name="buildSubProject">
<ant dir="common" antfile="common/build.xml"
target="main" />
<ant dir="entity" antfile="entity/build.xml" target="main"
/>
<ant dir="session" antfile="session/build.xml"
target="main" />
<ant dir="servlet" antfile="servlet/build.xml"
target="main" />
</target>
</project>
things to note:
* each of the subprojects build correctly when run individually but
when they are called from a seperate project like above then the mkdir built
in task does not seem to work in the subprojects
* the 'ant -verbose' output says its working fine and is actually
doing the mkdir
* the subprojects contain some javac commands which *do* work... it
seems to be only the mkdir that doesn't
* i analysed the ant output line for line and did not find any
differances (except for the parts were i tried to copy files into the
directory that didn't get made)
anybody come across something like this before? any ideas??
any help much appreciated.

heres a snip of one subproject file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="kadius_quickstart_entity" default="main" basedir=".">
<property name="ant.home" value="D:/jakarta-ant"/>
<property name="source.dir" value="D:/Projects/Core/Source"/>
.
.
.
<!-- BEAN SPECIFIC PROPERTIES -->
<property name="bean.dir" value="."/>
<property name="bean.build.dir" value="build"/>
<property name="bean.jarName" value="User_containerManaged.jar"/>
<!-- BUILD THE BEAN -->
<!-- Create the build directory -->
<target name="makeBeanBuildDirectory">
<mkdir dir="${bean.build.dir}/META-INF"/>
</target>
.
.
.. <target name="main" depends.. etc.>
