I added the optional task to my working build.xml. It was successful
in recursively getting out all of my source code in read-only mode and loading
it into my folder, but when it was finished Ant claimed that the task failed
and would not proceed on to the compilation step:

			

			C:ProjectsIPTranslator>ant
			

			Buildfile: build.xml
			

			

			init-props:
			

			

			prepare:
			

			[mkdir] Created dir: C:ProjectsIPTranslatoroutput
			

			[mkdir] Created dir: C:ProjectsIPTranslatoroutputclasses
			

			[mkdir] Created dir: C:ProjectsIPTranslatoroutputlib
			

			[mkdir] Created dir: C:ProjectsIPTranslatordeploy
			

			[mkdir] Created dir: C:ProjectsIPTranslatorjavadocs
			

			[mkdir] Created dir: C:ProjectsIPTranslator
			

			eports
			

			

			set-classpath:
			

			

			convert-classpath:
			

			[echo] CLASSPATH: C:ProjectsIPTranslator
			

			

			check-out:

			[vssget]
			

			

			BUILD FAILED

Why does Ant say this step failed when its results look correct?

Here's the JDK I'm using:

			

			C:ProjectsIPTranslator>java -version
			

			java version "1.4.0-rc"
			

			Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-rc-b91)
			

			Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-rc-b91, mixed mode)
