This could be because the ! character indicates a resource within a JAR file. (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/JarURLConnection.html)
Hope this helps Keith -----Original Message----- From: madhuvanti joshi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2006 06:20 To: Ant Users List Subject: ANT script fails to run when path contains '!' Hi All, I have a batch file through which I am calling ANT script. Before calling ANT script, I am setting CLASSPATH through batch file to the path containing ANT libraries and product. Although CLASSPATH has been set properly when I have a '!' in the path ( e.g. C:\Program Files\Some!Path\AntMainDir), ANT script fails with return code 3 (on windows - path not found) with build exception "Can't load default task list". (It does not find org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/defaults.properties) I want to know why it is not finding the path when it contains '!'? (If I remove'!' from Some!Path then everything works fine.) Thanks in Advance. -Madhu. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
