Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply! Yes, I am sure about the names of the files and
where they are placed.
Which version of Ant did you use?
Could it be some kind of collision? I have ant 1.6 installed in some kind of
sun-directory since before. I also have clipse installed and Ant comes whith it
and is also installed somewhere else. When I try the to run Ant from Eclipse I
get the same error message. As you can see in my first mail I am using Ant
1.7.1 so I am sure about that I am using the latest version. I did configure
both my PATH and ANT_HOME to point to my version 1.7.1.
I also took the information I sent to the mailing list as input for setting up
exactly the same configuration on another computer in office, I worked
seemless. I tried both 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 so I assume it is not a bug but has to
do with my setup. Any suggestions for how to move forward?
Thanks again!
Regards,
Niklas
