TC4-Dev: Problem building examples

Not sure why this is happening, as I believe I am using the latest Ant build. I
was getting compilation problems when performing a build dest on the new
examples project.

The build.xml file defines some parameters:

  <property name="build.dir"       value="../../../build/webapps"/>
  <property name="servletapi.home" value="../../../jakarta-servletapi"/>
  <property name="servlet.jar"     value="${servletapi.home}/lib/servlet.jar"/>

I added the following lines to debug the status of some internal parameters:

  <target name="testit">
    <echo message="servlet jar: ${servlet.jar}"/>
    <echo message="servletapi.home: ${servletapi.home}"/>
    <echo message="build.dir: ${build.dir}"/>
  </target>

and I got these results:

testit:
servlet jar: ../../jakarta-servletapi/lib/servlet.jar
servletapi.home: ../../jakarta-servletapi
build.dir: ../../../build/webapps

Very strange, and I'm not sure what is causing it, but the value for
servletapi.home is incorrect.
