Tried running ant on some example source and keep getting this error..

Does anyone know as I'm assuming i'm maybe missing the ejb libs but am pointing to the glassfish/jdk which should have them? I also thought JSE compiles JEE code?

thanks.

You'll need to make sure the J2EE libs are included on your build classpath. You can read about doing this with ant here: http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnaan.html#gexah
or perhaps you may want to look where you got the example code from to see if they have any instructions for use with their build files.

Thanks, I'm using a mac and wasn't calling ${J2EE_HOME}, I should have changed the any files to ${env.J2EE_HOME}
