    Apologies if this question is not appropriate for this forum, but I
    couldn't find an answer anywhere else.

    I would like to be able to compile, build and run my WebObjects
    application from the command line using ant. I've added
    woproject.jar to /Developer/Java/Ant/lib. I am using WOLips, which
    has generated a build.xml file for me. If I run the tasks in
    build.xml from within Eclipse, everything works fine. But the same
    tasks from the command line fail. For example:

    $ ant compile
    HotSpot not at correct virtual address. Sharing disabled.
    Buildfile: build.xml

    setProps:

    init.build:

    compile:
         [javac] Compiling 22 source files to /Users/ubermind/svn/
    UberTime/Client/UberTimeWeb/bin

    BUILD FAILED
    /Users/ubermind/svn/UberTime/Client/UberTimeWeb/build.xml:164: /Users/
    ubermind/Library/Frameworks not found.

    If I add the directory it can't find, I just get another error:

    BUILD FAILED
    /Users/ubermind/svn/UberTime/Client/UberTimeWeb/build.xml:164: IO
    error scanning directory /.Spotlight-V100

    That error is due to wo.wolocalroot being set to / in my
    wobuild.properties. I change that to /Library (for example) and the
    compile starts, but ant runs out of memory because (I'm guessing) it
    is attempting to scan the entire /Library directory structure for jar
    files.

    I'm sure with some build.xml massaging I can get past this error as
    well, but I'm really really curious as to why ant works from within
    eclipse but not from the command line. Anyone know?

    Thanks,

    Josh Dubey
