I'm trying to build Tomcat 4.0.1. The first time I tried 'ant dist', it failed with [style] Failed to process /usr/local/build/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1-src/webapps/tomcat-docs/appdev/index.xml BUILD FAILED /usr/local/build/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1-src/webapps/tomcat-docs/build.xml:90: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException But when I tried 'ant dist' a second time, it succeeded. This behavior is reproducible: after 'ant clean', the first 'ant dist' always fails, and the second 'ant dist' always succeeds. This smells like a bug to me. Anyway, after the qualified success of 'ant dist', I tried 'ant test'. This failed eventually with: test-dir-context: [echo] Running FileDirContext tests [java] .F....... [java] Time: 0.164 [java] There was 1 failure: [java] 1) testGetAttributesWebInf(org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContextTestCase)junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: WEB-INF attribute 'resourcetype' is expected [java] at org.apache.naming.resources.BaseDirContextTestCase.checkWebInfAttributes(BaseDirContextTestCase.java:452) [java] at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContextTestCase.testGetAttributesWebInf(FileDirContextTestCase.java:162) [java] [java] FAILURES!!!
