Thanks so much for the quick response! think I have this working now. Part of the problem was having both the JDK and JRE paths in my JAVA_HOME when I only needed the JDK there. I also had to point to the JRE directory of my JDK path. I created a new environment variable called JDK_HOME that only contains my JDK path as well. I also had, for my ANT_HOME variable the higher level Ant directory rather than the apache-ant-1.7.0 directory, which apparently was causing some problems. So, apparently, Ant was a bit confused about where it was looking for stuff.

Also, you stated that the jdk was installed but later indicate that jre was being used. --glenn On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 1:19 PM, Debbie Shapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello - > > Let me preface this with saying I am not a Java guru by any means.
