That's exactly it, Nic!!
I've been able to successfully build idv on my laptop (where I have root
permission and can modify the /etc/ant.conf file) and it worked
perfectly. It indeed was a problem with an older version of ant.
Thanks all for the help!

I have run into strange build errors with ant, only when I use the one
that came with Linux. The problem is that it isn't using the correct
version of java. You can display your version with something like...
<echo message="Using Java Version ${java.version} For Compilation"/>
in your build script. When you install a new version of ant it should
pick up JAVA_HOME, but when you use the one that came with the system
you might see something like:
[echo] Using Java Version 3.5-tree-ssa For Compilation
If you ever see this version of Java, you can probably expect strange
results.
That might explain things.

For what it is worth, I downloaded a newer version of ant from apache.
I spent about 3 hours trying to get ant to work without giving me a
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher
error. Finally, I tried doing the following command:
java -jar <path_to_new_apache_and>/lib/ant-launcher.jar idvjar
And it worked!!!
Sorry for the wasted bandwidth, but thanks for the help!

Given the location (end of line) of the error, is it possible that
Kevin is building on a Linux/Unix system and that this file has a
DOS-like ending?

Hello,
I had to recompile my idv and came across the same errors that I
reported back in May. Specifically, many lines similar to the

Hi Kevin,
It looks like somehow the source code in that file got corrupted.
From the src jar on the ftp site we have:
harpo.unidata.ucar.edu: more ViewDescriptor.java

Why don't you try and download it and build again?
