Title: RE: Observations from an ANT newbie

What command are you typing in?

 

Typing 'ant' works fine for me with this build file.

 

You're not typing in 'ant build' by any chance are you?

I create a test folder and put the following file in it. I also created build, src, init, dist,compile and clean folders under test.  I didn't see any source files, so I added some to src and build. I received this message from the build:

Target 'build' does not exist in this project.

This is the build.xml file I used.
<project name="MyProject" default="dist" basedir=".">

  <!-- set global properties for this build -->
  <property name="src" value="."/>
  <property name="build" value="build"/>
  <property name="dist"  value="dist"/>

  <target name="init">
    <!-- Create the time stamp -->
    <tstamp/>
    <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile -->
    <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="compile" depends="init">
    <!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->
    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="dist" depends="compile">
    <!-- Create the distribution directory -->
    <mkdir dir="${dist}/lib"/>

    <!-- Put everything in ${build} into the MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar file -->
    <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar" basedir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="clean">
    <!-- Delete the ${build} and ${dist} directory trees -->
    <delete dir="${build}"/>
    <delete dir="${dist}"/>
  </target>
</project>

Are you referring to the full example at the end of "Using Ant"?  If you
are, I just tried it, and it works for me. Where doesn't it work for you?
