new to ant build problem 1

[matty1stop]

I am new to ANT and am trying to build my first build.xml file

I get a message stating :
'ss' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

This is where the error is thrown:

<target name="getSourceJava">
<vssget
localpath="${source.java.dir}"
serverPath="${vss.server}"
vsspath="${vss.source.java}"
/>
</target>


Here are the supporting properties:

<property name="source.dir" value="source" />
<property name="source.java.dir" value="${source.dir}/java" />

<property name="vss.server"
value="//vssServer/dept/devsource/vss_dbs/development/"/>

<property name="vss.source.java" value="$/Developers/In_Development/CentralizedProcessingDataWarehouse/Staging/LoadData/*.java"/>

It smells like a stupid typo but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

You need to specify the 'ssdir' property of the vssget task. This points to the ss.exe SourceSafe application.
