Solution 1

You are using ant to drive the build process with Eclipse. The main file that directs everything with ant is build.xml. If that file is missing or misidentified, the build can not happen. According to your Eclipse environment description, it expects the build.xml file to be at the location specified.

Look at the definition for workspace_loc to determine where the IDE is looking for the build file. To do this, in the Package Explorer, right click the Package you are trying to compile, select Build Path -> Configure Build Path. Click on Resource/Linked Resources and look at the Path Variables tab. WORKSPACE_LOC should be there, and replace that in the path above. I am not sure if this variable is case sensitive, but I notice you have it defined as lowercase in your question. It might need to be uppercase.

What didn't work? What is the value of WORKSPACE_LOC? Does the build.xml file exist at the address you specified?
