Thank you for your response. This is what I had attempted before, but I get an error that one of the options is unknown, but, when I run it from the commandline it works fine, so I just assumed that I am doing something wrong in my ant script. This is the error I get: Exception caught: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown command line argument: -o filename.tini This is also the first argument, so it would appear that something is wrong with what I am doing. <target name="maketini"> <java classname="TINIConvertor" fork="true"> <arg value="-o filename.tini"/> <arg value="-d ${TINI_HOME}\bin\tini.db"/> <arg value="-f bin\com\dtlab\zigbee\TiniSerialIO.class"/> <classpath> <pathelement location="${COMM_HOME}\comm.jar"/> <pathelement location="${TINI_HOME}\bin\tini.jar"/> <pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/> </classpath> </java> </target> - -- Corruptisima republica plurimae leges.
