I have a project built in eclipse with a dependencies on 3rd party jars. I'm trying to generate a suitable build file for ant - using eclipses built-in export->ant buildfile feature as a starting block.

When I run the build target I get the following error:

[javac] error: error reading /base/repo/FabTrace/lib/apache/geronimo/specs/geronimo-j2ee-management_1.0_spec/1.0/geronimo-j2ee-management_1.0_spec-1.0.jar; error in opening zip file

And the whole build file (auto-generated by eclipse) looks like this: (NB: the error above always references the first jar listed in the classpath)

(I know there's eclipse specific stuff in here. But I get the same results with or without it.)

I've done ye old google search and trawled around without success.

I can confirm that all the jars do really exist. I've also tried from the commandline and as sudo - again, same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
