The problem is now gone. It was resolved by using absolute paths instead of
relative paths when using the mkdir built in task (os = Windows).
e.g. main project has a call to
<ant dir="common" antfile="common/build.xml" target="main" />
in the subproject common/build.xml file there is the following
<!-- absolute path works -->
<property name="bean.dir"
value="D:/Source/mybean"/>
<!-- relative path does *not* work for mkdir-->
<property name="bean.dir"
value="mybean"/>
...
<target name="makeBeanBuildDirectory">
<mkdir dir="${bean.dir}/build"/>
</target>
...
Thanks
