Thanks Chad, this is extremely helpful --- i've had a go at building with Ant 1.6.2 and been rewarded with a different error:
BUILD FAILED C:\beehive_projects\netui-tutorial\build.xml:93: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\apache\apache-beehive-1.0.2\ant\beehive-tools.xml:145: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details. ...that i'll look into further, on the basis that it should be straightforward to resolve. many thanks for everything you do here, jeff -----Original Message----- From: Chad Schoettger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 18 January 2007 11:20 AM To: Beehive Users Subject: Re: NetUI tutorial build problems = "This data type contains a circular reference". This is a bug in the Beehive ant APTTask, I've committed a fix for the issue which will be included as part of the next official beehive release. You will need to build your own Beehive dist if you wish to use Ant 1.7.x now (unfortunatly there isn't any workaround for this bug). Otherwise Ant 1.6.x works fine with the current release of Beehive. - Chad On 1/17/07, Chad Schoettger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This does appear to be an issue with Ant 1.7, I'll do some more > investigation as near as I can tell at this point it appears to have > something to do with our Ant APT task. > > In the meantime you should be fine with Ant 1.6.x > > - Chad > > On 1/17/07, Eddie O'Neil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Jeff-- > > > > I wonder if this might be related to use of Ant 1.7?
