? Must specify value with name attribute ?

[barryburd]

I'm installing and testing JBoss 2.4 BETA with j2sdk1.4.0-beta3 and ant-1.4.1. I'm going through the Interest example. When I get to the place where I put the files in a jar, I get the following error message:

C:\progra~1\JBoss\examples\build>ant intro-interest-jar
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED

C:\progra~1\JBoss\examples\build\build.xml:16: You must specify value, location
or refid with the name attribute

Total time: 0 seconds
C:\progra~1\JBoss\examples\build>

The build.xml file comes straight from the JBoss Web site, and starts with the following lines (I've omitted the comments):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>



Can anybody get me past this hurdle? Thank you.

Hi,

This is probably a j2sdk1.4.0-BETA3 problem.

I've seen quite a few other problems with it, but
not this ant one.

Only thing I can think of, is that 1.4 comes with
JAXP already configured.

Regards,
Adrian

Thank you. I'm up and running now. FYI, it wasn't the JDK 1.4 beta that was the problem. While reinstalling everything on a computer with JDK 1.3, I noticed that I couldn't reuse and existing copy of the JBoss_documentation-example.zip file. I must have messed with this file before, and contaminated it. Anyway, when I downloaded a fresh JBoss_documentation-example.zip file, the install worked under both JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.4 beta.
