I see... it's funny that you need Ant to build Ant properly... It would seem to me that if you need to debug something about a Tool, you can't really use it the Tool to build itself could you?
But anyway, you are right... I should have used the build file. Newbie mistake, didn't realize that the tool would use itself to build. Thanks for the patience, Filip Turns out my problem isn't with Ant but with the URL encoder in java... Ant Uses it and hence I thought it was an ant problem... but Ant is now vindicated :D -----Original Message----- From: Conor MacNeill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 4:45 PM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: Anybody?

Some may be candidates for retirement but not everyone is in a position to be using the latest and greatest version of each component. Ant has many *optional* external dependencies but they are managed by the Ant build file. If they are not present you get an Ant build without them. How are you trying to build this stuff? Is it with Ant? To give you some idea, check out these components in the Ant build as an example <selector id="needs.xslp"> <filename name="${optional.package}/XslpLiaison*"/> </selector> <available property="xslp.present" classname="com.kvisco.xsl.XSLProcessor" classpathref="classpath"/> <selector refid="needs.xslp" unless="xslp.present"/> These are from different parts of Ant's build - try searching for xslp or xalan1.
