[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The OS is (mostly) Windows XP ... I've
tried Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1, and, even tried a little with
Linux Redhad, with similar results on all. 
(I'd like to do on Windows .. since
I have more machines available with that on it ... hmm, I have another
with Windows 2000 :)

Thanks for taking up the challange :)
... as a hint (or distraction?) ... I actually tried this (sort of) myself,
and while not really getting any further, I did get a hint. 
I tried uninstalling all my JREs/JDKs
(on windows) and re-installing JDK 1.4.2_08 afresh. I also re-"installed"
apache-ant 1.6.5, to make sure it was a fresh good copy. 

I immediately found a new error message,
from deep in the bowls of the apache ant scripts ... "did not find
tools.jar ..... expected to find it in XYZ" ... where, XYZ was 
a JRE install (not the SDK I installed)
under the Program Files directory. 

I tired all the obvious ... copying
the tools.jar there ... uninstalling that JRE, re-installing my JDK, etc.
... 
and while I could make that "tools.jar
not found" message go away ... I never really got any further. 

Maybe my experience will refresh some
memories? 

I just hope I don't have to reinstall
the OS!  :)

You are on :-)... I will try it on one of the traning PC's at the office
tomorrow and let you know.  I will document my steps as I go.  Those
machines are restored from a clean OS image so should be a good 
approximation.

BTW: What is your OS?
