Well that may be a problem. In general, you do not need quotes in environment variables, even those with spaces. Ant.bat quotes the usage of environment variables at the point of usage and if they already contain quotes, there will be problems. The best way to debug these problems is to turn echo on in the ant.bat file and see where it runs into problems. Also, I would start from a command line shell to get things sorted out before using your textpad 'tool'. > <small rant>But I hate an untidy directory structure.
