I downloaded ant. I unzipped it to my Java directory. I set %ANT_HOME% to where I installed it. I also put %ANT_HOME%\bin in my path environment variable so that the build script can find ant.bat. I still get the same error. I then set my CLASSPATH to reference ant.jar (I actually verified that org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException is in this jar.) I still get the same error. Obvoiusly the classpath is getting changed when I run the build.bat file from the source download package. I don't know what it's being changed to and I don't know why. Does it run the ant build script from the %ANT_HOME% directory? If so, does this or any other script modify the CLASSPATH to locate the ant.jar? I'm confused and ready to give up.

Unzip the files, and make sure you set the environment string %ANT_HOME% to wherever you installed it. I think you also need to put %ANT_HOME%/bin in your path environment variable so that the build script can find ant.bat. I don't recall downloading anything else like centipede or millipede to make this work -- just ant. cheers, jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:poi-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:poi-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
