I suspect ANT works in mysterious ways on NT/XP. Look at my screen dump below: --------------------------------------------------------- C:\my_data\ant_learn>set | grep ANT
C:\my_data\ant_learn>which ant /cygdrive/c/my_data/apache-ant-1.6.0/bin/ant C:\my_data\ant_learn>ant -f test.xml Buildfile: test.xml test: [echo] ANT is cool! BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds C:\my_data\ant_learn> --------------------------------------------------------- so as long as the real ANT HOME bin directory is in the path, ant seems to work (at least for me) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
