Ant problems

I found this problem if "javac" was not defined in the path. This was
especially true when compiling the weblogic ejb components. However, this
problem was independent of IDEA.

I think something changed with the allowable path size in XP over 2K
because this problem pops up alot with NetBeans while using an external
app-server link (e.g. Tomcat 4.1). The command path gets SO LONG, that
it ends up getting concatonated, which is an invalid command, and then
you end up with an exception. If you look at the command IDEA tried to
execute, you see the same behavior here.

The solution I found (after no one else finding one) was to reinstall
Tomcat into a much shorter dir... I never (an no one else on the list)
figured out how to increase the size of an allowable command line or a
better work around than that.

You might want to try and chop down your classpath if you can.

Best,

Dino,

You were on target. I did not have my java bin directory added to my PATH environment variable. I added it and the problem went away in IDEA.

Thanks,

Grant
