This is the error when trying to build the Pet Store example:

C:\Users\user\workspace\common-ant.xml could not be found
BUILD FAILED
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\user\workspace\common-ant.xml
(The system cannot find the file specified)

The common-ant.xml part is making no sense. I have no idea why it says common-ant.

    The install_dir/samples/common-ant.xml file defines properties common to all sample applications and implements targets needed to compile, assemble, deploy and undeploy sample applications. In most sample applications, the build.xml file includes common-ant.xml.

    Found on a tutorial here

    Have a look at your build.xml file, the location may be declared inside. Then, read the pet store tutorial carefully (again), maybe there’s a sentence where you’re asked to copy some predefined common-ant.xml to some location.
