Please note the appserv-admin.jar manifest which is expecting a specific jar for each locale like "appserv-admin_it.jar". The italian (or others) locale jars are not available under /lib, this is why the following resource cannot be resolved: com/sun/enterprise/management/deploy/DeployThread/LogStrings_it_IT.properties Anyway it seems there is not the English version as well... (I searched inside all /AppServ folder) --------------------------------------------------------- Manifest-Version: 1.0 Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.5.3 Created-By: 1.4.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
