new user problem Target `build.xml' does not exist in this project
Hi all,
I am trying to run ant, and for some reason it gives me this error message.
BUILD FAILED
Target `build.xml' does not exist in this project.
and for some reason , if i create an empty target called build.xml ,it looks
at other files in the directory and complains
Target 'x' does not exist in this project.
And this problem is specific to my machine , the build works fine for other
colleagues who use the same build.
Any help or comment really appreciated,
thanks,
Rakshit

it may sound dumb but
* Check your ANT_HOME
* Check location of ant cscript on machine (correspond to ANT_HOME???)
* make sure you do not have an alias that is running ant with an extra
parrameter
* If you are using a wrapper scipt make sure it's not the culprit
Cheers,
Pete

Nope , i am just doing
$ ant
for some reason , it looks for build.xml as a target, and this problem is
peculiar to my installation,

Are you trying to run it like:
$ ant build.xml
If you are, drop the "build.xml".
