Newbie: Can't get messaging examples to build via Ant

[macknox]

Sorry for the simplistic question, but I really want to get into this JMS stuff, and I can't even get the examples to run.

My JBoss installation is at d:\Jboss, and I have set my env var %JBOSS_DIST% = d:\Jboss. "echo %JBOSS_DIST%" works correctly.

When I type ant -v build from the proper directory I get:

"Property ${jboss.dist} has not been set" 18 times
"Property ${src.dir} has not been set" 1 time
"Property ${servlet.jar} has not been set" 1 time
"Property ${classpath} has not been set" 1 time

This is what I would anticipate, since I don't see anywhere in the build.xml that these properties are set.

Is there something about Ant that I don't understand that should auto-populate these properties?
Should I be able to find documentation somewhere that tells me to what I should set these properties?


I have to be believe that this file is working well for someone out there. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Kevin

I found my problem.

I was building in the jms subdirectory. I was supposed to build in the examples\build directory, where the global variables are defined, and then sub-builds are performed as specified on the command line.

Thanks,
