When I try to build my struts project in Eclipse I get the following

<fileset dir="./" includes="${war.file.name}"/>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="main" depends="clean, prep, cleanWebApp, compile, war"/>
</project>
It appears to me that I need to specify in the build file where to find
the javac executable. I have a classpath set in my system environment
variables but this does not seem to be found by the build process.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

I had a look in another newsgroup and found the answer to this question.
Just in case anyone reading this needs to know, this is what I did. For
my situation, I needed to add the tools.jar to my ANT preferences
classpath. I used the Add External JARs option to add the it to my ANT
Home Entries, the tools.jar is in the java jdk lib directory.
I am using Eclipse version 3.01, and I believe these instructions are
version specific.
The information came from this site http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/ANTFaq
