update: I also tried setting the properties file as follows: j2ee.home=C:\\jboss-4.2.3.GA BUILD FAILED C:\j2eetutorial14\examples\common\targets.xml:10: The j2ee.home property is not properly set in /j2eetutorial14/examples/common/build.properties. Set the j2ee.home property to the location of your Application Server installati on. On Windows, you must escape any backslashes in the j2ee.home property with anoth er backslash or use forward slashes as a path separator. So, if your Application Server installation is C:\Sun\AppServer, you must set j2ee.home as follows: j2ee.home = C:\\Sun\\AppServer or j2ee.home=C:/Sun/AppServer j2ee.home is currently set to: C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA Total time: 0 seconds Some help here would be appreciated.
