build not working in linux with netbeans project

Question

I have written a java web application(deployed on glassfish server) to deploy on to Tomcat server. I copied the project file along with build.xml to a linux system and tried

[packwolf src]$ ant
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/home/packwolf/Application/src/build.xml:12: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/packwolf/Application/src/nbproject/build-impl.xml:22: Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.Not doesn't support the nested "antversion" element.

The web application is supposed to be portable, but it isn't. Any ideas to fix this?

You need to check your ant version. It might not be the same as on your other box.
