Hi,

When I attempt to build alfresco using the command

ant build-tomcat

the build fails. The fail message is:

BUILD FAILED
c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Alfresco\Downloads\Alfresco\Alfresco Core\projects.xml:882:  The following error occured while executing this line: c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Alfresco\Downloads\Alfresco\Alfresco Core\macros.xml:28: Error running c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\javac.exe compiler

I have read the other posts that relate to building Alfresco. I tried modifying macros.xml by inserting the code

<compilerarg value="-Djava.endorsed.dirs=${dir.project.3rdparty.lib}" />


as Pawan advised in an earlier post. This did not work.

I do have JDK 1.6.0_21 installed. I checked the javac is working in the command prompt.

Can you please let me know what I should do from here ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I changed the Alfresco installation directory to c:\Alfresco, and the ensuing ANT build was successful.
