Here is the original description from SUN:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html


Our build.xml does do those steps for you.
Please try to run 'packager.exe' as described in SUN's description manually
from the DOS prompt to find out the problem. After fixing this
our build.bat should run fine.

best regards,

Marcel
