Eclipse Web Project is not building with ANT?

Question

Eclipse Web Project is not building with ANT.... I had Eclipse build my build.xml file but if I goto the comment line and run ANT it does not make a WAR file anywhere. can someone please tell me why?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

This is the output to the screen:

build-subprojects:

build-project: [echo] MemberInquiry: /home/jsmith/uft-workspace/MemberInquiry/build.xml

build:

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO TRY

Answer 1

That particular ant script does not build a war, all it does is compile the java. You must have taken some other action within eclipse to create a war file than simply running this ant script.
