I have a project that builds and works on Windows but when I've brought it over to MacOS (Sierra) and set up Resin, Ant, and the rest of my project in IntelliJ the build is failing with a fairly ambiguous error:
build.xml:24: Directory /java/ant-build/classes creation was not successful for an unknown reason
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Mkdir.execute(Mkdir.java:70)

At first I thought it was a permissions issue but I ran chmod 755 on the two directories and still am getting this error. I also tried updating to a newer version of Ant to replace IntelliJ's built in one with brew install ant@1.9 but that didn't help either.
Does anyone know of any changes that need to be made to projects when migrating from Windows to Mac? I'm the first one at the company to migrate this project to Mac so unfortunately the others don't know much about this.
Both are using:
As the comments on the main post point out, this was a permissions issue where the ant was trying to build in the root directory
I had to change my build.properties file so the paths were point towards my $HOME directory.
