Hi,

Why am i getting this error while building tomcat4.0?  i am using ant 1.4

C:\Tomcat\temp\jakarta-tomcat-4.0>C:\Tomcat\jakarta-ant-1.4\bin\ant -projecthelp

Searching for build.xml ...
Buildfile: C:\Tomcat\temp\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build.xml

BUILD FAILED

C:\Tomcat\temp\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build.xml:239: Class org.apache.tools.ant.task
defs.Zip doesn't support the nested "zipfileset" element


the line in question is following in build.xml
    <zip zipfile="${tomcat.dist}/${final.name}.zip">
      <zipfileset dir="${tomcat.dist}" prefix="${final.name}" 
       includes="bin/**" />

You have total control over where each JAR file is taken from, by
configuring the "build.properties" file.  The quickest way to set this up
is to copy "build.properties.sample" to "build.properties" and then edit
it to suit.  The properties that matter for this purpose are
"servlet.home", "servlet.lib", and "servlet.jar".
