Can't invoke allaire.ejipt.tools.Deploy frm Ant using build.xml

Question

This is a question to everyone.
If you know the answer please let us know and the entire community will be grateful. If u have used JRun well and good, if not and u are using any other J2EE server, and u use Ant in conjunction to build ur application, then u must know the answer. I don't as I'm pretty new to Ant.
I'm trying to build an ant script/ build.xml that might work with Eclipse or simlar ide, the purpose is to compile and deply the Ejbs. The following is what I have got, see attcahed code
Now, see, I have defined the follwing in my ant script that is included at the bottom.
<property name="JRUN_HOME" location="C:/JRun"></property>
<property name="distroot" location="${JRUN_HOME}/servers/default"></property>
<property name="deploy_dir" location="${distroot}/deploy"></property>
<property name="deploy_jvm" location="C:/java/jre/1.3.1/bin/java"/>
<property name="deploy_tool" location="allaire.ejipt.tools.Deploy"/>But then, this is the Deploy task:
<target name="Deploy" depends="Initialize, Compile, Jar, Dist">
<echo message="About to deploy ${jarfile} in ${deploy_dir} using ${deploy_jvm}..."/>
<java fork="true" classpathref="classpath" classname="${deploy_tool}" dir="${deploy_dir}" jvm="${deploy_jvm}">
<jvmarg value="-Djava.security.policy=${JRUN_HOME}/lib/jrun.policy"/>
<jvmarg value="-Dejipt.home=${JRUN_HOME}"/>
</java>
<echo message="DEPLOY SUCCESSFULY COMPLETED..."/>
</target>But, when i run the script using ant - all other tasks are successfull apart from the Deploy and this is what I get:
Deploy:
[echo] About to deploy H:\lib\mtrack_ant.jar in C:\JRun\servers\default\deploy using C:\java\jre\1.3.1\bin\java...
[java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: H:\eclipse\workspace\AdvancedLab\allaire/ejipt/tools/Deploy
[java] Exception in thread "main"
[java] Java Result: 1
[echo] DEPLOY SUCCESSFULY COMPLETED...Hence, my problem is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: H:\eclipse\workspace\AdvancedLab\allaire/ejipt/tools/Deploy. Some how I cannot find out how to tell the java task to use allaire.ejipt.tools.Deploy to deploy the jar file thats alreday be copied to the deploy directory.
And off course the message is correct that 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: H:\eclipse\workspace\AdvancedLab\allaire/ejipt/tools/Deploy' - because there isn't any allaire/ejipt/tools/Deploy in my home directory. This class is in the ejipt.jar which is in the ${jrun-jardir} which I have mentioned in the Deploy task, but it still doesnt work
This is very intersting - looking forward to any response.
