Well, I was doing some "experimenting" (which is what I do when I don't have a clue) and discovered that version 1.56 of "jde-ant.el" works just fine for me, but version 1.57 doesn't. Looking at the diff, the only change is the normalization of "jde-ant-program". Interestingly enough, 1.57 fails for a different reason than 1.58.
message from 1.57: cd c:\Projects\Java\WordDance\Server\source\main\com\mv\util\ c:/Projects/Java/WordDance/Server/source/main/com/mv/util/ant -Dant.home=c:/Bin/Development/Utilities/jakarta-ant-1.5.1 -buildfile "c:/Projects/Java/WordDance/Server/Development/webapp/build.xml" -emacs clean-deploy 'c:/Projects/Java/WordDance/Server/source/main/com/mv/util/ant' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Jan 31 09:47:30 Any leads on how I might fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, :Paul p.s., I included a complete dump in my previous post ... but to summarize I'm using JDE 2.3.2/Xemacs 21.4.11/Cygwin 1.3.19 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
