Re: compile problems

Hi,

It looks like you are using a really old version of
Ant. Modern compile was simply an empty method back then -
hence you need to upgrade Ant or else change from modern
compiling to classic compiling. BTW where did you get that
versioj of Ant ???

I have confirmed, however, that compile correctly copies non-java files from one of my source packages into the appropriate build package under the classes directory. When I run with -verbose, these are the final 7 lines printed:

Yes, you're right. My build.bat file was pointing to ant.jar in my
%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib directory. So, apparently that's the ant binary delivered
with Tomcat when I downloaded it back around April of this year.

I am still having some minor problem that I will try to work through. These
problems all seem to be related to using ANT according to the Tomcat
documentation. I will switch over to the ANT documentation now and hopefully
avoid these.

Thanks for your help,
Chris McFarland
