It must be picking up another installation of ANT from somewhere, do a search for ant on the hard drive and open the ant.jar file and inside there open the manifest.mf file that will give you the version of the ant installation.

Mike S. >>> "Ammar Khalid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/12/2008 11:34:55 >>> I have written an ANT script and tested in my eclipse environment and it works fine from within eclipse environment. When I run the script using command line command: N:\tasks\ant task for juliet>ant -buildfile build.xml Buildfile: build.xml On checking the web, I saw that this maybe due to older version of ANT such as 1.6.2. But I have ANT 1.7.1, however when I run the command: ant -version, it shows the following: N:\tasks\ant task for juliet>ant -version Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16 2004 This is baffling me? Any ideas When I try to run the same script that works from eclipse, it shows the following output at command line: N:\tasks\ant task for juliet>ant -buildfile build.xml Buildfile: build.xml deploy_convert_tool: [echo] Ant version: ${antversion} [echo] Unzipping the ConvertTool.zip file [unzip] Expanding: N:\tasks\ant task for juliet\ConvertTool.zip into N:\task s\ant task for juliet [echo] Copying the Convert tool files BUILD FAILED java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils.getFileUtils()L org/apache/tools/ant/util/FileUtils; For your reference the script is at as below: <project name="JulietAntTask" default="deploy_all" basedir="."> <description> simple example build file </description> <!-- set global properties for this build --> <property file="JulietAntTask.properties" /> <antversion property="antversion"/> <target name="deploy_convert_tool" description="To copy the Convert tool files to destination" > <echo message="Ant version: ${antversion}" /> <echo message="Unzipping the ConvertTool.zip file" /> <unzip src="${ZipFilesLoc}/${ConvertToolFileName}" dest="${ZipFilesLoc}"/> <echo message="Copying the Convert tool files" /> <copy todir="${Dest}" overwrite="true"> <fileset dir="${ZipFilesLoc}/ConvertTool"> <exclude name="**/*.doc" /> </fileset> </copy> <!-- <copydir src="${ZipFilesLoc}/ConvertTool" dest="${Dest}" forceoverwrite="true" excludes="**/*.doc" /> --> </target> <target name="deploy_kbr_copy_tool" description="To copy the KBR Copy tool files to destination" > <echo message="Unzipping the KBRCopyTool5.3.zip file" /> <unzip src="${ZipFilesLoc}/${KBRCopyToolFileName}" dest="${ZipFilesLoc}"/> <echo message="Deploying the KBR Copy tool files" /> <copydir src="${ZipFilesLoc}/KBRCopyTool5.3" dest="${Dest}" forceoverwrite="true" excludes="**/*.doc, kbrmultiargdialogcontainer/**, ServerMethod/**" /> <copydir src="${ZipFilesLoc}/KBRCopyTool5.3/kbrmultiargdialogcontainer" dest="${Dest}" forceoverwrite="true" /> </target> <target name="deploy_modifygrid_projectsetup_tool" description="To copy the KBR Modify Grid tool files to destination" > <echo message="Unzipping the ModifyGrid-ProjectSetup.zip file" /> <unzip src="${ZipFilesLoc}/${KBRModifyGridFileName}" dest="${ZipFilesLoc}"/> <echo message="Copying the KBR Modify Grid tool files" /> <copydir src="${ZipFilesLoc}/KBRModifyGrid5.3" dest="${Dest}" forceoverwrite="true" excludes="**/*.txt" /> <copydir src="${ZipFilesLoc}/ProjectSetup" dest="${Dest}" forceoverwrite="true" excludes="**/*.doc" /> </target> <target name="deploy_all" description="copy all the tools" depends="deploy_convert_tool, deploy_kbr_copy_tool, deploy_modifygrid_projectsetup_tool"> </target> </project> This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
