Hello,
I solved the problem. Don't know if I am clumpsy (but I guess...).
This was the situatione: In the directory where the flytta.txt file should
reside following files were present:
flytta.txt
build.xml
And they were presented as above.
I decided to create a new flytta.txt from scratch and when naming the new file,
historical names is presented as sort of a drop-down list. There was the
none-forgiving name flytta.txt.txt. You see where I am getting... The file I
was trying to access was called flytta.txt.txt, not flytta.txt.
Ok, I should have done that earlier. But the list above confuses me because the
last ".txt" is presented in one file and ".xml" for the other. It would have
make sence if the list looked like this (the extension not visible at all for
any file):
flytta.txt
build
Of course I had to make some checks:
I tried to
1. save one file called build.xml.txt but it complained that the file alread
exists
2. save one file called build.xml but it complained that the file alread exists
For me, that doesn't go together because I only had two files in total:
flytta.txt.txt and build.xml, hence only one file starting with "build". When
checking the properties of build.xml it said it's a xml-file.
This is not a problem to dig into, but it's a bit confusing.
Well, that was a long way of saying that I was not stupid and that it was the
computer's fault. Wonder if I managed to fool anyone...;)
Thank you for the time spending on this!
Best Regards,

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,> >
