By default, normal inner classes have a hidden reference to their enclosing class. When you attempt to serialize the inner class, RMI will try to pull the enclosing class along with it. A simple answer is to declare the inner class "static" - making it effectively a top-level class, with no reference to the enclosing class. There might be a way to use Externalizable to avoid streaming the enclosing class (or perhaps serialPersistentFields might help) - but I believe that's your basic problem: understanding inner classes. This is not Ant related at all. Not sure why it works under JBuilder - it should still fail. Continue off list... -- Dardo D.
