I'm running the exact same configuration and I've never seen that error
before. If you want to trace through the execution of the ant shell

Title: RE: How do I get the log file name?
I was hoping to use the mail task in Ant. In Ant I know that the build was successful, and I must know what the log file name is somewhere. Is it in a property? What is the name? I have everything else to use the mail task except the log file name.
But here's the problem: We can't know where the doc fails you unless you
tell us -- we're not mind-readers. That's why my initial reply to your
first failing grade posting was to ask you where, specifically, the
documentation was insufficient. People use documentation in different
ways: some

This is fairly common. Is there anywhere in ant file that you *use* the jar
? (ie in classpath of a java task or like). If so it is likely that this
task is locking the jar. SO when you try to delete it, it fails but as soon
as ant finishes, the jar is unlocked. Thus in the second pass you can
