Build failure: build-commons-el: jakarta-commons\el does not exist

[Doug Dew <do...@dew.name>]

When attempting a build with a completely clean, new set of 
files, "build-commons-el" reports:

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/java/tomcat5/jakarta-tomcat-5/build.xml:471: Basedir 
C:\java\tomcat5\jakarta-commons\el does not exist

I have been receiving this same error for many days now. I 
haven't found a mention of this error anywhere in the mail 
archives, and so suspect that there's a problem at my end. 
However, given that by following the build instructions 
there are very few opportunities to screw things up, I don't 
see what I could be doing wrong. Also, I had successfully 
built Tomcat5 about a month ago.

By the way, during a casual comparison of the root level 
build.xml and the jakarta-tomcat-5 build.xml I see that the 
root level's build.xml doesn't fetch the commons-el stuff 
from cvs but the jakarta-tomcat-5 build.xml does. This 
doesn't seem right, and I wonder if this is the cause of my 
problem.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Doug

I got the same problem when I grabbed the cvs copy on saturday, I 
eventually got evrything working by downloading some of the required 
files by hand and re-running the build.  Also I got a Jasper 2 error 
whilst compiling some of the taglibs, but the build didn't fail, and 
the tomcat 5 server would run, but I couldn't access the admin pages.

I should really figure out exactly what was happening, but I haven't 
had time since.
