Attached is a corrected build.xml. It will still give a warning regarding the bootstrap classpath, I think to resolve that one would need a Java5 standard library to refer to, however in most cases the warning should be harmless. In the cases where it isn't then may be we need to decide if we really want to go back as far as Java5 for supported JVMs.
I don't know why it won't work on JDK6. Michael Whapples-----Original Message----- From: Vic Beckley

Maybe I will try recompiling since the error stated that Ant would add it to the build.xml file. Better yet, maybe I should wait for you to fix it and try it again.

Also John, may be you want to reflect this in the docs. Michael Whapples-----Original Message----- From: John J. Boyer

The folders are there. This may be a problem that some users will encounter. Thanks Michael, for the revised build.xml file. It is in the latest push. Vic, I'll fix the new bug you found. You are certainly an eager beaver tester. Freelists has gotten the idea that some of the pushes contain viruses. Fortunately, the last one went through. John -- John J.
