This is what i already have.

    
...
     <path id="catalina-ant-classpath">
        <!-- We need the Catalina jars for Tomcat -->
        <!--  * for other app servers - check the docs -->
        <fileset dir="${appserver.lib}">

# Ant properties for building the springapp

appserver.home=${user.home}/Programme/run/apache-tomcat-6.0.14

I am having the same problem. I think it has to do with making minor modifications in the build.properties file.

What changes do I need to make to the file below?

I am using Apache-tomcat-6.0.18, while the example refers to 6.0.14. On a related note, my Apache is installed on c:\documents and settings\...\My Documents\apache-tomcat-6.0.18.

#******************************************
# Ant properties for building the springapp

appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.14
# for Tomcat 5 use $appserver.home}/server/lib
# for Tomcat 6 use $appserver.home}/lib
appserver.lib=${appserver.home}/lib

deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps

......

#******************************************

This it the exact error I am getting at the Ant Build stage:

$ant
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
Premature end of file.

I had the same problem. I colud resolve it by completing properly this path

appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.14 in "build.properties" file.
I put my apache path. In my case, this line is

appserver.home=${user.home}/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.20.

Because in my home folder, I have an other folder called "bin", and there i have my tomcat 6.0.20.

Bye
