Can't get 3.0.2 to build

[mcgee]

(I posted this a couple of days ago but haven't found a solution . . .)

I'm trying to get JBoss 3.0.2 up and running, but it won't build. I get the following error when I try to build:

Error reading project file: unknown protocol: resource

I assume this error is coming from line 3 of the build.xml file:

<!ENTITY buildmagic SYSTEM "resource://org/jboss/tools/buildmagic/common.xml">

Looking in the ant 1.5 source, I believe this error is coming from org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelperImpl.java on line 183, which is catching an exception that is probably (I think) thrown by a call to one of the methods of org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter, perhaps setEntityResolver().

Does anyone know what my problem is? I'm using the plain ol' RPM installation of J2SDK 1.4.0, and plain ol' ant 1.5, and I'm following the instructions in the Quick Start document. It'd be nice to get this up and running, before I have to recommend WebSphere.

Thanks,
McGee

From where are you launching the build? build/build.sh? An IDE?

In the meantime - don't fret! Download the binary distro to play with.

Ahhhhhhh, build/build.sh, ay? The Quick Start sayeth this:

Start the build file without a parameter

I assumed they meant run ant without parameter -- NOT to run build.sh. (As soon as I saw build.xml I was thinking ant -- I didn't even notice build.sh sitting there.)

Looks like this build isn't working either; it's failing on some of the JSP and servlet classes, which it can't find. May I will try that binary.

Thanks Mick!
