Problems in running ant in WebSphere studio site deveoper in bundles

[tharanga wijethilake <th...@ee.oulu.fi>]

Hi,
I am using the WSSD 5.1.2 trial version and I am trying to run an ant script in side a bundle using a java program. It is as follows.

package oulu.info.capnet.samples;

import java.io.File;

import org.apache.tools.ant.Project;

import org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper;

/**

* @Author: Tharanga Wijethilake

* @Time : 10:54:25 

*/

public class AntRunner implements Runnable{


private String fileName="C:\\Documents and Settings\\tharanga\\My Documents\\IBM\\wssitedev51\\workspace\\Runner\\build.xml";

private static AntRunner ar;

private Thread thread;

/**

* 

*/

public AntRunner() {

super(); 

}

/* (non-Javadoc)

* @see java.lang.Runnable#run()

*/

public void run() {

antRun();

}


public static AntRunner getInstance(){

if(ar==null){

ar=new AntRunner(); 

}

return ar;

}


public void antRun(){

File buildFile=new File(fileName);

if(buildFile.exists()){

Project p=new Project();

p.setUserProperty("ant.file",buildFile.getAbsolutePath());

p.init();

ProjectHelper helper=ProjectHelper.getProjectHelper();

p.addReference("ant.projectHelper", helper);

helper.parse(p, buildFile);

p.executeTarget(p.getDefaultTarget());

} else{

System.out.println("File not found");

} 

}


public void start(){

thread=new Thread(this);

thread.start();

}


public void stop(){

thread=null;

}

}


I did Every thing as indicated in the article "Invoking Apache Ant programmatically" (http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0502_gawor/0502_gawor.html)
and I am tring to run the same ant script given in the article. but when I run the bundle activator it gives the following error.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/Project

at oulu.info.capnet.samples.AntRunner.antRun(AntRunner.java:47)

at oulu.info.capnet.samples.AntRunner.run(AntRunner.java:34)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:513)

 Can some one suggest me what is wrong with this. I can run the class given in the article as a java application, it is only that I can not run it as a SMF bundle.

I hope some one would answer me.

Thank you in Advance.
