Description Julian Day 2003-11-14 23:45:43 UTC 
Originally, I had both NetBeans and Java installed under C:\Program 
Files\j2sdk_nb.  However, after trying to install Sun's web service pack 
v.1.3, I found that ant wouldn't work right.  It said that it couldn't find 
tools.jar in some directory, and then listed a number of them.  One of them 
was "Files\j2sdk_nb\...", which led me to suspect that the space in "Program 
Files" was causing it to break.  I redownloaded netbeans, installed it and 
java into a directory structure without spaces, re-installed the web services 
pack, and everything worked fine.  I'm sorry I can't be more specific as to 
the error.

If this is the version of Ant that sun shipped, it is out of our hands. They
modified the ant.bat and so have to live by their actions.

Current official Apache Ant releases should not have this defect, so please try
one of the versions we offer.

As Steve says this is a netbeans issue.
