krishnan,

You must set the jde.home directory in the build script or properties file. The path should be the directory where you copied the RIM JDE.

We also have forums now for discussions such as this: http://forum.slashdev.ca/

I was trying to get the
jde.home property set up correctly,

I have tried: C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.7.0
which is the location of my file that is equivalent to yours but it won’t accept it.

I didnt get the way to run the ant from root of my project.
And yes my project has the src directory in it.

Make sure the source directory (src) actually exists. Also make sure you are running ‘ant’ from the root of your project, eg:
