I think you are facing the problem I did. The ant installation on your
environment seems to have been corrupted. Couldn't find a proper solution ,
but the problem goes if you create a new user (i.e if you are using nt or
win2k) and use ant through the new user's login.

Subject: Target 'build.xml' does not exist...
Hi,
I'm trying to set up my first ANT project. I started with this
four-liner in a file called "simple.xml":
<project default="whatever">
<target name="whatever">
</target>
</project>
The currenct directory contained nothing but this. My first attempt was
[d:\temp\anttest]ant
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed.
Well. I understand that: build.xml is the default name for the build
file. Lets try
[d:\temp\anttest]ant -buildfile simple.xml
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed.
Why does it insist on build.xml?
Lets rename simple.xml to build.xml:
[d:\temp\anttest]ren simple.xml build.xml
[d:\temp\anttest]ant
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target 'build.xml' does not exist in this project.
Why does ANT confuse the build file and the target?
[d:\temp\anttest]ant -buildfile build.xml
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target 'build.xml' does not exist in this project.
Hm.
[d:\temp\anttest]ant -help
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target 'build.xml' does not exist in this project.
Time to go home.
What did I wrong?
Regards,
Bernd Gründling
