Exported ANT build hangs on clean target

Question

I've exported an ant build file. When I try to run this ANT build file from the command line, it stalls on a clean target in the portal project.
The custom controls project compiles fine, and the same with data project (which part of the standard portal setup), but when the real portal projects starts to build it hangs with the following trace:
[wlwBuild] [Build] Application Build Status: tk_portal
[wlwBuild] [Build] BUILD STARTED
[wlwBuild] [Build] build:
[wlwBuild] [Build] clean:
It's a rather large portal project.
Anyone experienced something similar?

Most likely you're seeing a Windows file sharing violation issue. It's likely that the other process holding the file you're trying to delete is WebLogic itself. You could try stopping the server before you do the command-line build.
It's handy to have a tool like "ProcessExplorer" from SysInternals for situations like this. You can use it to determine which processes have a file handle open. You can use SysInternal's "FileMon" tool to see what file handles are being referenced in real-time.
