Hello, I have a bug fix for the above problem. I got the same error that this person did. This error is with ANT specifically. The JAR file tools.jar must be in the CLASSPATH or in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, which it is not in Sun's Java 1.3 (it is in $JAVA_HOME/lib). Also, I was getting several errors about deprecation during the ANT build and I found that the program was not finding the version of my compiler. To fix these problems I edited Project.java file found in ANT's source tree here: /src/main/org/apache/tools/ant. I altered the getJavaVersion function (line 335) by adding a getProperty line: public static String getJavaVersion() { String javaVersion = System.getProperty("java.version"); return javaVersion; } I hope this helps. Thank you. Brent "First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
