Why is this filed in the ant component??
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-06-16 16:05:19 UTC 
Probably you are using new sources but a slightly older build. The
format of project.xml files changed a bit and you need a build that
includes the changes.
Comment 3 Martin Grebac 2004-06-17 14:34:21 UTC 
You're right - incompatible builds. But from my previous experience
with other bugs in prj definition, it's almost impossible to guess
which dependent project causes problems. It would be good to have at
least better error message. NPE is not a good source of information if
there's no project name.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-06-17 16:32:33 UTC 
Right, I will have it throw an IOException with a proper message.
