I'll try to track down the issue as I'm on XP here at work I have 3 comments: 1. Since then I've discovered how to "unset an enviroment variable in DOS CMD window: set classpath= this will remove the classpath environment variable. 2. Besides "ant -p" running the default target, so does "ant -?" So it appears that the command line option is being ignored, even though its really some quirk with the enviroment variable... Weird. 3. These 2 are different: set classpath="foo" set classpath=foo In unix (i think, don't have a Linux handy here to test it), unix strips off the double quotes.. but Windows XP doesn't. You can prove this by typing set classpath to display the current value, the first case displays "foo" while the second case displays foo -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
