If one checks out the current CVS sources, builds the "dist" target then unzips the distribution somewhere else, that dist target won't build: /tmp/jakarta-poi-1.5-dev/build.xml:26: /tmp/jakarta-poi-1.5-dev/src/examples/src not found.

sorry to make this clear, I'm talking about the source distribution created by the dist target.
This seems to be working. Please reopen if this is incorrect.
