Re: [Javacad-develop] Building JCad

[Shiva M. <shi...@ho...>]

Hi Terry,

Can you run the build.xml file with -verbose option and post your error 
message?
May be we can debug more..

$ant -verbose jcad-compile

I am not an active developer for this project, but am trying to be. Lets see 
how I can help. In the mean time, I will research more on Ant's side.

-Shiva
