That's what you're supposed to say.

According to the apache ANT semantics, and in what I would consider a

If it calls distclean (which it seems to do) then it cleans the dist dir
contents, the build dir contents, and all the build dirs contents of all
dependents.

redist implies clean and more. So no.

Try running ant with -q. It gives you only a very short summary of what
happens. Then paste that and we'll see (though probably you'll spot the
problem before that).
