Ant, Tomcat and NetBeans

[Mark Lyn]

have a fresh instillation of netbeans and tomcat, when I try to compile t=
he
basic default servlet with Ant from netbeans I get:

error: option -Xbootclasspath/p: not allowed with target 12

But the servlet compiles ok with Maven.

I know ant well so would want to continue with that.

Any help please?

Thanks

Is that the full error message?  If not, please post it here.  

Can you post your Ant build script here?  What happens when you build your project with Ant outside of Netbeans?

Thanks Knute,

you get so use to having things done for you in the IDE I didn't
even think to look.

But there is nothing much in my Build.xml, just:

-<project basedir="." default="default" name="Ant_test">

  <description>Builds, tests, and runs the project Ant_test.</description>
   <import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>
<!...

..>
</project>

nbproject/build-impl.xml  is of course very long, but its something for me
to change for now.

If you have any ideas let me know.

Thanks.
