Im trying to run launch4j as a build task on macosx but im getting the following exception:

/Users/myname/Desktop/build/buildarms2jar.xml:67: net.sf.launch4j.BuilderException: net.sf.launch4j.ExecException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/Users/myname/Desktop/launch4j/launch4j/bin/windres": error=2, No such file or directory

the file paths are correct. I read that this may be a problem with running windres but I wasn't able to find a solution for it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ant File:

Well this is embarrassing...I had the wrong launch4j distribution....I downloaded the macosx distribution and it worked.....
