Sorry again !! I just found that my classpath had pervious version of ant.jar before this latest one, that I just downloaded and so I had all the problems. Never mind, please ignore this query. Thanks, -sjain ****************************************************** Oops, Its a typo. I verified that I am using "environment".
Although, to my surprise, the version of ant is 1.2. I tried downloading latest 1.4.1 from apache website. But even the 1.4.1 binary says version 1.2 when I try "ant -version" !! I tried downloading nightly build for 1.5alpha but still the same. Am I missing something here ... ? Thanks for help, -sjain ****************************************************** spelling? Are you sure you are spelling it "environment" and not "enviromnent" Not clear from your email. Also check the version reported by Ant when using -verbose flag.
