ANT w/ jdk1.3 down to 1.2.2 NULL

["Ukasick, Aimee (MED, Adecco)" <Ai...@med.ge.com>]

Help! We had to downgrade our jdk version from 1.3 to 1.2.2_005, and now
the ant build script won't work. I've changed my classpath and can
compile without ANT. Now ANT is throwing a Null Pointer Exception at
org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.parse(ProjectHelper.java, Compiled
Code).
The debug info is:
 
Total time: 3 seconds
D:\Projects\AOI_EOF\eof_repository\aoi\src>ant -debug compile
