Cannot find symbol while building Alfresco

Hi guys, I'm Roberto from Italy.
I got a little problem while building Alfresco with Ant and "build tomcat" target from inside the IDE MyEclipse.
The errors I get are the following:

BUILD FAILED

It seems that Ant can't find the DeleteContentStreamResponse class, contained by the project cmis-tck-ws, while compiling the Remote API project.
Is it caused by a missing dependency into the build.xml? Any suggestion?

Thank you
Roberto

Solved with a different importing procedure.
I downloaded Alfresco with svn via terminal, and then imported all the projects from within myeclipse with “Copy projects into workspace” unchecked. This procedure caused the error for me.
Now in Eclipse I've installed Subclipse and downloaded the content of the svn repository directly from the IDE (no terminal). Building Alfresco now works.
Thank you
Roberto
