I have been mucking my brains out over this, but it just doesn't work, and I am sure I am making a trivial mistake here. Basically, I built JBoss AS from source, and it works perfectly. Now, I am trying to build the portal server from source, and I can build the datasource descriptors sucessfully, but for some reason using "build deploy" in the build directory gives me the following error(s): Executing C:\Jboss\jbp-2.4\build\..\tools\bin\ant.bat -logger org.apache.tools.ant.NoBannerLogger deploy Buildfile: build.xml _buildmagic:init: Trying to override old definition of task property configure-project: [echo] groups: default [echo] modules: common,test,api,faces,server,security,identity,format,portlet,theme,cms,bridge,samples,wsrp,core _buildmagic:modules:most: ============================================================== == == Executing 'most' in module 'common'... == == configure: Overriding previous definition of reference to apache.ant.classpath == == == Finished 'most' in module 'common'. == ============================================================== ============================================================== == == Executing 'most' in module 'test'... == == configure: Overriding previous definition of reference to apache.ant.classpath == == == Finished 'most' in module 'test'. == ============================================================== ============================================================== == == Executing 'most' in module 'api'... == == configure: Overriding previous definition of reference to apache.ant.classpath == == == Finished 'most' in module 'api'. == ============================================================== ============================================================== == == Executing 'most' in module 'faces'... == == configure: Overriding previous definition of reference to apache.ant.classpath == == == Finished 'most' in module 'faces'. == ============================================================== ============================================================== == == Executing 'most' in module 'server'... == == configure: Overriding previous definition of reference to apache.ant.classpath [echo] C:\Jboss\jbp-2.4/thirdparty/xdoclet/lib/ [echo] C:\Jboss\jbp-2.4/thirdparty/sun-servlet/lib/ _default:compile-classes: [javac] Compiling 57 source files to C:\Jboss\jbp-2.4\server\output\classes [execmodules] C:\Jboss\jbp-2.4\server\src\main\org\jboss\portal\server\servlet\ProxyRequest.java:28: warning: [deprecation] javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionContext in javax.servlet.http has been deprecated [execmodules] import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionContext;

Once I get that sorted out, I am interested in using Eclipse for portlets development, which I am also having problems with. Thanks a lot in advance.
