I created within my WebSphere project a simple echo.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="Echo" default="echo" basedir=".">
<target name="echo">
<echo message="HELLO from echo"/>
</target>
<target name="dir">
<echo message="dir of ${basedir}:"/>
<exec dir="${basedir}" executable="cmd.exe">
<arg line="/c dir"/>
</exec>
</target>
</project>
I followed the instructions as laid down in the help Doc
Running Ant outside Application Developer (command line)
The following steps show you how to run your build script outside
Application Developer from a Windows� command line.
1. Set up your PATH to use the internal JRE:
set PATH=x:\Ws_installdir
\plugins\com.ibm.etools.server.jdk\bin;%PATH%
2. Set up your CLASSPATH with the Ant JAR and the Xerces parser JAR
(this command must be all on one line):
set CLASSPATH=x:\Ws_installdir\plugins\org.eclipse.ant.core\ant.jar;
x:\Ws_installdir\plugins\org.apache.xerces\xerces.jar;%CLASSPATH%
3. Set up your ANT.HOME environment variable:
set ANT.HOME=x:\Ws_installdir\plugins\org.eclipse.core
4. Use Java to run Ant and pass in the build script file and desired
targets (this command must be all on one line):
java org.apache.tools.ant.Main -verbose -buildfile x:
\Ws_installdir\MYWORKSPACENAME\MYPROJECTNAME\echo.xml echo dir
There were problems
number 1 I dont have the directory com.ibm.etools.server.jdk, in fact I did
not have a JRE under either of the two plugin directories.
number 2 I had three JRE enviroments too choose from.
C:\IBM\WebSpere studio\eclipse\jre\bin
C:\IBM\WebSpere studio\runtimes\base_v5\java\bin
C:\IBM\WebSpere studio\runtimes\base_v5\java\jre\bin
number 3 I do not fully understand ANT.HOME=x:
\Ws_installdir\plugins\org.eclipse.core.
I do not have a directory or a jar file called org.eclipse.core, so I
guessed that is was a hidden webSphere var.
I then did not know which plug directory it referred to
C:\IBM\WebSpere studio\wstools\eclipse\plugins
C:\IBM\WebSpere studio\eclipse\plugins.
I tried all 6 combinations ran the following command line.
1. java org.apache.tools.ant.Main -verbose -buildfile echo.xml
and each time got the same error message : No JAXP compliant XML parser
found.
The WebSpere enviroment contains all the tools and jars I need, the problem
is setting up the enviroment so that I can access them.
Thanks for any Help.

Without going into details of the problem yet, has anyone managed to
get the ant version running inside
webSphere 5, running from the commandline.
If so did they follow the steps laid down in the help doc
http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/library/techarticles/0203_searle/searle1.html
.
Or did you have to get further downloads, set more env vars or use any
extra steps.
I have been stuck for almost two days on this problem.
Thanks for any help Tony
