I have a problem with the build process on a new server that I have setup just for development purposes.
This is running on a Centos 6 box with Java/Tomcat v7. The output is as follows:
Buildfile: /home/ec2-user/twv/trunk/EES/build.xml
init:
[echo] Build of EES started at 1332 on December 19 2015
clean:
[echo] Cleaning EES
[delete] Deleting directory /home/ec2-user/twv/trunk/EES/build
compile:
[echo] Compiling EES
[mkdir] Created dir: /home/ec2-user/twv/trunk/EES/build/WEB-INF/classes
[javac] Compiling 78 source files to /home/ec2-user/twv/trunk/EES/build/WEB-INF/classes
BUILD FAILED
/home/ec2-user/twv/trunk/EES/build.xml:118: /home/ec2-user/twv/trunk/EES/${currentenv.TOMCAT_HOME}/lib does not exist.
Other responses on SO suggest that the environment variable isn't created but If I run the following:
echo $TOMCAT_HOME
it returns:
/usr/local/tomcat7
So I know that the variable exists and is set.
This is the build.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Any advice on how to fix?
My guess is that Ant does not "see" TOMCAT_HOME because the system process in which Ant has been called has not that variable defined on it.
Ensure you are calling Ant from the same system user that has a TOMCAT_HOME variable in its profile, and also that the environment variables are preserved when launching Ant.
