1. List your environment variables 2. List the contents of the directory you run ant in. 3. List the contents of your build file - "my_build.xml". 4. Run: ant -version and let me know the results. Regards Bill

Hmmm, using -buidfile (although I usually use -f because it is less typing) and -h works ok for me - I am using version 1.6.5. Try renaming the existing build.xml file and retesting to see what result you get and let us know.

# start of contents of property file appl.properties appl.type=java or appl.type=c # end of contents of property file <project name="compile-java-or-c" default="do-build"> <property file="appl.properties" /> <target name="do-build" depends="echo-build, build-java-files,build-c-files"/>...

Search for "Library dependencies" at http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html It sounds as if you may not have a (the correct) XML paraser in your classpath.

You can call the make from wityhin an ANT task using the EXEC built in ANT task. You can start here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html

You can use the ANT "EXEC" task to run a bat/sh script to set paths and classpaths from within an ANT script. E.G. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <project name="setjavahome" basedir="." default="main"> <target name="main"> <echo> OSNAME = ${java.home}</echo> <exec dir="."...
