I don't think the build is that great either; i often run into issues. However, if you can lay out the specific steps you took (are taking) and what you're seeing, hopefully we can fix some of the issues. > > I thank everyone who was patient enough to guide me through the build and > being tolerant of a newbie. > > About ANT_OPTS="-Xthough.ms256m -Xmx512m".

It all depends on your system - I've never had to use it on my moderate linux systems, but I always have to use it on my windows machines. As for the stack trace, this is just the way Ant and reflection works - root exceptions get hidden in InvocationTargetExceptions. If Ant were printing the cause of the exception, it'd be much more obvious. > > Also I had to run "ant fetch-depends" for common_resources to get log4cxx > from svn. It would be great if this also can be automated. Are you running the top-level (federated build)? Did you add the "-Dauto.fetch=true" to the command line?
