Hi, I have installed ant and for some unknown reason my set up can't
locate the build.xml file.Firstly i downloaded a good sample build.xml
file and placed it alongside my bin,lib & doc's files to no avail. Thus
i have tried the - find option albeit same response.

Thus i am wondering have i got to place the build.xml file in my
Netbeans dir as apparently the -find option will look for the build.mxl
file in thecurrent directory and thus towards the root dir.

Thus my dos-prompt does not have a build.xml file eventhough there is a
build file in the same folder.

Any Suggestions cheers Chuck

Thus any suggestions as im lead to believe from your comments that my build.xml
sample file should actuallly be in my netbeans dir and not ant .As this would make
sence to create or utilise a build.xml file in netbeans , albiet i already had a
build.xml file in my webapps but -find option failed to locate it. Thus i why i
downloaded the sample build.xml and placed in my ant dir . I have sent this to you
vis a at/ment.
1) Store the BuildFile (build.xml in my source file in
Netbeans/J-tomcat/webapps/src/build.xml
2)execute ant from the src dir.
Am i on the right track

Cheers Chuck

	I can't really tell without seeing your buildfile, but if you just cd'd
into C:\Ant that path '..\..\..\nbuild\netbeans' is clearly invalid. '..'
means 'back one directory'. What you have means 'go back THREE directories,
then go down into the 'nbuild' directory, then into the 'netbeans'
directory. If this is coming from C:\Ant, there is no way to go back more
than one directory.
