ant doesnt get the library dependencies

Question

My system: Windows 7 Ant Version: 1.8.2 JDK: 1.6.27 x64

Sorry Im starting to work with ant and currently trying to install it properly.

When I type in cmd this command:

ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system

to get the library dependencies, according official documentation I get following errors:

jspc:

I tried to google and cant find any suitable solution, except that jasper-runtime -4.1.36.pom is not available in repository. Can anybody point me out how to resolve this?

It seems that maven is not accessible from your build machine. Can you use a browser on the build machine and see if you can access http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ ?

when i go http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ at browser i get this: "Browsing for this directory has been disabled. View this directory's contents on http://search.maven.org instead." And http://search.maven.org works! So should I replace repository? – cOnf_ua Oct 17 '11 at 15:45
Try to download the dependency by hand: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/tomcat/jasper-compiler/4.1.36/jasper-compiler-4.1.36.pom – Mircea Vutcovici Oct 17 '11 at 15:50
I cant - I get 404 error – cOnf_ua Oct 17 '11 at 15:53
HTTP 404 means that the jasper-compiler-4.1.36.pom can not be found at that path/URL. Try to find a different version that is working and update the ant script, or find the right path/URL. – Mircea Vutcovici Oct 17 '11 at 15:57
