The optional.jar
I'm also having a little bit of difficulty getting ftp going. What is

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

Another solution would be to simply invoke Ant as
ant -Dbuild=foo -Ddist=bar
and leave out the settings in the ant file itself.
If you define a property from the command line, then you
can simply begin using it in the ant file itself. You don't have
to redefine it using the setting.

You can also set properties that override properties
specified in the buildfile (see the property task).
This can be done with the -Dproperty=value option,
