1.	This should be directed to the ant user group, not me directly.
2.	Try the instructions in my previous email if the following does not work.
3.	Use location when pointing properties at directories.
		<property name="sourceDir" location="src" />
	This sets "sourceDir" to an absolute path rather than a relative one.
4.	Relative directories only work within ant. This is consistant with the way XML works.
	As soon as you create a process outside ant it runs in the original directory, ie. folder1.
	Consequently,

	<java classname="com.metapa.webservices.WSDLUtils" classpath="${classpath}" fork="true"
failonerror="true">
        <arg line="-config ./config.props
./lib/soap/soap.jar;./lib/tomcat/activation.jar;./lib/javamail/mail.jar" />
      </java>

	should be changed to:

      <property name="folder4.dir" location="." />
	<java classname="com.metapa.webservices.WSDLUtils" classpath="${classpath}" fork="true"
failonerror="true">
        <arg line="-config ${folder4.dir}/config.props
${folder4.dir}/lib/soap/soap.jar;${folder4.dir}/lib/tomcat/activation.jar;${folder4.dir}/lib/javamai
l/mail.jar" />
	</java>
