Deployer problem

[Chanan Braunstein <cb...@knovel.com>]

 Hello,
	I am trying to use the client deployer to compile my web-app. There
is not much help on the issue, and for someone like me that never used ant
before it is hard to figure out what to do... However here is what I did so
far:

Download ant & tomcat 5 deployer. Copied the deployer lib files into ant
lib. Added ant\bin to my PATH (Windows) copied build.xml from the deployer
to my webapp directory. Copied the lib folder from ant to my webapp
directory (I guess I could have put the path in the command line for ant,
but I was too lazy and I wanted to see if it works first), edited the
build.xml to point to the name of my web-app. And then executed ant from the
command line.

Here is my output:

compile:
     [copy] Copying 1965 files to C:\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\build\webapp\knovel2
     [copy] Copied 33 empty directories to 1 empty directory under C:\Tomcat
5.0
\webapps\build\webapp\knovel2

BUILD FAILED
C:\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\build.xml:73: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

So questions:

1) What is up with not putting tld files in the lib folder? Where is a
better location?
2) why did the build fail? And how do I fix it?

	Thanks,
