Ant problem using the Jazz Build Engine

 I recently decided to try out the RTC build engine so I created a simple hello world python script and a build.xml file to run it.

hello.py
print 'hello world'
	
	
	
build.xml
<project name="placeholder project" default="hello">
	<target name="hello">
		<exec executable="python" failonerror="true">
			<arg line="hello.py"/>
		</exec>
	</target>

	<target name="run">
		<antcall target="hello"/>
	</target>
</project>
	
	
	

This works well when running 'ant run' manually on the server that I want to execute the build on. But when I try to run it with the build engine I get this error.

Build failed. Exit value was 1.

I get the error "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Locator.fromJarURI(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;".
When I google for it it seems that there is some problem with NetBeans and Java that usually causes this. But I'm not using NetBeans not Java (except for ant which I'm guessing is written in Java). Does anyone have any idea why this might happen?

Is the build using some other version of ant? If so, is it possible to change it to use the version that is on the server?
(I'm using CLM 6.0.1)

I don't have such problem with RTC 6.0.1 with the bundled ant 1.7.1. In fact, a user suggested that using a newer version of ant actually caused such problem.

There may be some problems with the ant library. To find out more, add "-v -d" to "Ant arguments" in the Ant tab of your build definition. You should see very detailed information in the build log.

 Hi


It turns out that the ant version in the build engine was off somehow.
I set the value under Ant -> 'Ant home' to point to the where ant was installed on
the server and it worked.
