build.xml: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: idl2java: not found

I'm trying with:

<target name="myidl2java" depends="prepare_idl">
<apply executable="idl2java" dir="/opt/vbroker/5.2.1/bin" failonerror="true" parallel="true">
<arg line="-DJAVA -I${inc.idl} -root_dir ${idljava.home}"/>
<fileset dir="${my.idl}">
<patternset>
<exclude name="**/*.pj"/>
<exclude name="**/makefile"/>
</patternset>
</fileset>
</apply>
</target>

but when I execute ant the following error is shown:

Execute failed: java.io.IOException: idl2java: not found

Does someone know how to solve the problem?

It doesn't find the file idl2java. Maybe it is not the directory /opt/vbroker/5.2.1/bin

Are you sure the file in that directory? Also, where is this being built? In linux, or in windows?

It is in AIX. The file idl2java is there and I can run idl2java as command. The id that I used to run ant has x access to visibroker and ant. The file idl2java's file mode is -rwxr-x---. Once I changed its mode to -rwxr-x--x, then ant works. Why can't ant propagate my id's access right to its executable "idl2java"?

If the file mode of idl2java gets changed to -rwxr-x--x, then the ant problem went away. But this does not solve my problem because the system administrator refuses to let the public has x access to the software for security reason. My id has access right to both ant and idl2java and I can run idl2java on command-line. Whay cannot I execute idl2java through ant? Does some one know the way to let ant be able to execute idl2java without forcing the system administrator to grant x access to the public?
