Hi,

I am attempting the run the following ant script:

<project name=3D"MyProject" basedir=3D".">
<description>
simple example build file
</description>

<target name=3D"compile" description=3D"compile the source" >
<javac srcdir=3D"common" destdir=3D"common"/>
</target>
</project>

where common is a directory under the root directory (containing the=20
build.xml file) that contains some java source files.

When I run the script with the debug option i get the following output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------st=

no attempt seems to compile the files and indeed no class files are created=
.

if i run the command javac common\*.java from the root directory it works=
=20
ok.

I have the following env. variables set:
JAVA_HOME=3DC:\Program Files\IBM\Java142
ANT_HOME=3DC:\apache-ant-1.6.5

I assume it must be something quite fundamental but the fact that i see=20
javac run independently and Ant is invoked, I can't think what.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy
