Thanks for that, Jan I find shell scripts distinctly un-intutive, so no, I haven't tried it!
Do I have to use both Set and Export for ANT_HOME, do you think? David
I understand that ~/.antrc and ~/.ant/ant.conf are parsed when Ant is
called from the command line. I also understand that these files can include ANT_OPTS and ANT_ARGS parameters.
These file are executed by the wrapper scripts. Therefore you can have a look into them to see what exactly you can do. # load system-wide ant configuration (ONLY if ANT_HOME has NOT been set) if [ -z "$ANT_HOME" -o "$ANT_HOME" = "/usr/share/ant" ]; then if [ -f "/etc/ant.conf" ] ; then . /etc/ant.conf fi fi # load user ant configuration if [ -f "$HOME/.ant/ant.conf" ] ; then . $HOME/.ant/ant.conf fi if [ -f "$HOME/.antrc" ] ; then . "$HOME/.antrc" fi So i think you could also set ANT_HOME (btw - have you tried that?)
Can these files also include a definition for ANT_HOME?
I think it should - just try that out.
Could someone please confirm the correct syntax for these items. The things I want to do are: 1. Set ANT_HOME
see above
2. Set a memory requirement for ANT_OPTS
possible (and intented)
3. Use the -lib property to point to the DITA Toolkit lib, and set a property known as 'DITA_DIR'.
possible, set ANT_ARGS Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
