Thank you both for responding. Its working slightly better now. Let me go through the steps I'm taking...
First suppose I'm in directory 'asdf' which is any random directory. I start emacs, then open xyz.java in the 'src' directory which contains prj.el. If I jde-ant-build it outputs cd src/prj.el ant <ant options here> Somewhere the default-directory is changed to src/prj.el. This is apparently fine, as the build succeeds. If I change directory in emacs back to asdf then jde-ant-build outputs cd asdf ant <ant options here> and fails as it can't find build.xml My goal here is to be able to run jde-ant-build regardless of where I am in the directory tree... jde-find would miss build.xml if I was already above it in the tree... Also, Jason you were right about the path not containing ant.

Try M-x jde-create-new-project [/directory/containing/buildfile] Jason "Aubin, Ethan" To: "'JDE Developers'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <ethan.aubin@ cc: lmco.com> Subject: ant and paths 10/10/01 01:09 PM Hello, Ant will only work if I include the full path in jde-ant-program. Ant currently is in my path... Is there a way for jde search the path for ant? When I do a jde-ant-build. It cd's to the buffers current directory, and runs ant. I'd like to able to set a project directory or an ant-working-directory and have it cd there or look for the build file there. Right now I'm putting in the full path to the build.xml file as a work around... Am I missing or misunderstanding a config option? Any ideas or suggestions? Btw. I'm using jde-2.2.9beta3, gnu emacs 20.4.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8), Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
