Description Ondrej Rypacek 2004-10-13 09:38:41 UTC 
I tried to create a free-form project (for testing
purposes). The build script was copied from the
official ant manual, thus it should be valid. 

Nevertheless, I couldn't create the project with a
message saying "The selected file is not a valid
ant script"

the refused build script
Comment 2 Ondrej Rypacek 2004-10-13 10:04:28 UTC 
I just updated sources and rebuilt the IDE and it works fine. However,
I reported the bug against sources from yesterday morning, so I doubt
this was realy fixed between yesterday and today. It's more likely to
be connected with the rebuild.

I encountered the same problem some time ago - I was unable to create
a free-form project from an apparently valid ant-script. I looks like
the problem is not in the build script .

I downgrade the priority and add "Sometimes" to the summary. When I
experience it again, I'll add more details.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2004-10-13 18:32:11 UTC 
Please use ant/code, not java/project, for freeform project issues.

No idea why such a thing would happen, so just going to wait for more
info.

Reopen with details if it happens again.

problem happens consistently with attached build script.
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2005-01-28 02:26:05 UTC 
Remove the unnecessary (and incorrect) "file:" prefix from the
relative URI in the entity include and the script should be fine.
Comment 8 remould 2011-11-02 16:50:48 UTC 
I too have encountered several times when creating a free-form project. Isn't it better not to validate the build file when creating the project.
Comment 9 Jesse Glick 2011-11-04 22:19:12 UTC 
The wizard needs to inspect the Ant script to find targets, so it needs to be well-formed.
Comment 10 Jesse Glick 2012-05-08 14:27:04 UTC 
Reverting awawdeh's metadata changes, which seem to be junk.
