I did, guess I wasn't particularly clear. When I was making the following comments, I should have stated that I was doing this by running ant via the command line on a linux box. > Some testing on the linux, by moving extralib to extralib\ > test and setting > the property extra.lib.dir on the command line as following, > resulted in a > similar error message: > -Dextra.lib.dir=/build/extralib\ test/trunk > > "/build/<some project>/trunk/build.xml:209: > /build/extralib%20test/trunk/build does not exist." Renaming the folder from "extralib test" to "extralib" allows the build to work correctly once again. So it's not a problem with eclipse, but rather that I was running eclipse on Windows and my workspace folder in under a directory path that contains multiple spaces. On the linux system that I generally write the ant scripts, I use a heirarchy that doesn't have spaces in any directory name. I've also done some additional testing and have found that the following will eliminate the problem for a single space. <chainedmapper> <regexpmapper to="\1" from="file:([^\!]*)" /> <regexpmapper from="(.*)%20(.*)" to="\1 \2" /> </chainedmapper> That's not particularly scalable as I can't just duplicate the second regexpmapper to handle subsequent matches, as it results in an empty property when I do. So I'm currently looking at the following options: 1) whether there is a regex substitution in ant that can replace all occurances of a string 2) whether to modify my libraries to be locatable by jarlib-resolve and extension 3) Use scriptmapper -- Regards, Darragh Bailey Systems Software Engineer Hewlett Packard Galway Ltd.
