Define your build.xml like this. Use properties to define the "executabe" and "compiler" parameters. You can then override these values via the "-D" flag on the command line. If you don't specify any overriding properties with the -D flag, it'll take the value in the build.xml file.

There may be a further problem: Windows doesn't like path names greater than 155 characters. I"ve found that installing JDKs and other Java components under C:\Program and Files can cause you to go over this limit. That plus the space issue can cause all sorts of issues. The best way to handle thi

Use the antcontrib var task to override the property temporarily. Remember to use it in a target where you use antcall to invoke it so it disappears after use. Thank you, Chuck Holzwarth (804) 403-3478 (home) (540) 335-3171 (cell) - Original Message From: "Hannum, Daniel" <[EMAIL PROT
