I've had a similar problem. If I did a build clean compile test it usually worked. Once or twice I had to say build all (takes a while) but it gets to the tests.

I downloaded an extracted the POI source to a "Java Dev" folder under the "MY Documents" folder on my Win2K box. I cd'ed to this directory and called the build batch script which runs fine. When it prompts me for a target I enter test hit the enter key and get an error stating that it can't find the org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException class and that the build failed. I copied the results from my test in my orignal email. You can reference this below. Thanks for your help, Cliff Original email below: I'm getting frustrated with my POI build too. I've been told it's because I didn't have ant originally and so I downloaded and installed it. I set the ANT_HOME env variable and put ANT_HOME\bin in my path. I also put the ant jar file in my classpath. Whenever I run the test target from the POI build I get this: test: Running org.apache.poi.hpsf.basic.TestBasic java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException Exception in thread "main" BUILD FAILED C:\Documents and Settings\craic0ld\My Documents\Java Dev\jakarta-poi-1.8.0-dev-s rc\tools\cents\junit.cent\xbuild.xml:59: Test org.apache.poi.hpsf.basic.TestBasi c failed Total time: 17 seconds C:\Documents and Settings\craic0ld\My Documents\Java Dev\jakarta-poi-1.8.0-dev-s rc>echo %CLASSPATH% .;C:\Java\ant\jakarta-ant-1.5.1\lib\ant.jar;C: \Java\lib\jtopen_3_0\lib\jt400.jar ;C:\JClass;C:\JClass\build\jakarta-poi-1.5.1-final-20020615.jar;C: \Documents and Settings\craic0ld\My Documents\Java Dev\work Note how I've echoed my classpath to make sure that ant.jar is available. At the start of the build execution it echoes that it's using a modified classpath set (as I've also verified) by the build file. It also says it's using Jakarta Ant version 1.5 alpha. I don't see this refenced in the modified classpath so where is it finding it? Is it the build that's hosed up or is it my configuration? What am I doing wrong?

It should be that users CD into the poi dir and run the build script.
