Netbeans Project To Hudson / Jenkins - Do Compile Failure

[99sono]

Hello,

For a dynamic web application (generates a WAR file), I am having some trouble executing an the build command: "ant dist".

(A) In the Netbeans environment, this target executes successfully and deploys the application to a tomcat app server.

(B) In the machine running Jenkins this command fails in the -do-compile the.
The step is
<webproject2:javac destdir="${build.classes.dir}" gensrcdir="${build.generated.sources.dir}"/>


The errors are such as:
(a) error: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
[javac] import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

(b) error: cannot find symbol
[javac] private ValueExpression lang;


Basically, it seems that all the jars, project dependencies, and so on, that can be found inside project's ./lib/ ../projecnames/dist/ folders are being ignored.

I would like know what sort of task the webproject2:javac is.
How I can tune its classpath without touching netbeans generated code.
I have tried setting the CLASSPATH global variable with the necessary jar paths, but this task keeps on failing.
It seems that the do-compile task that I mentioned is compiling an awful large amount of classes without having any explicit classpath attribute defined.

Originally, I loaded the Netbeans project into jenkins using Netbeans to create the project.

Any help would be appreciated.

Should I just forget about the Netbeans ant file and right a custom ant file to compile the web project?

This also happened to me but using another CI server called Bamboo. At this point I am assuming you have set up the correct J2EE server home path e.g.
