Hi,

  I'm obviously being really dumb but i'm having trouble with the <war>
task.

  It constantly complains that 'basedir' does not exist and as far as i'm
concerned
  it does. Thus either the message is incorrect or i'm misreading something.

  Any help appreciated.

  Details : Ant V1.2
  JDK     : 1.2.2

  Snipit of build.xml...

   <target name="j2ee" depends="compile">

      <!-- Build the .war file -->
     
      <war warfile="${dist.dir}/Charter.war"
webxml="${meta.dir}/charter.xml" >
         <fileset dir="${src.dir}/html" />
         <fileset dir="${src.dir}/jsp"  />
         <classes dir="${build.dir}" />
      </war>

   </target>

  My Log Output.....
