I have no notion of ANT_HOME. Ant is only in jars in other products like: webtest or eclipse.
I only have the location where anr jars are: MY_ANT_JAR_LOCATION I can do: java -classpath "%MY_ANT_JAR_LOCATION%\ant-launcher.jar" ???? org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher So in your case I don't know what "-Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%" means or translates. What comes instead of ???? I also don't understand what is the role of each of: -cp "%CLASSPATH%" and -classpath "%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant-launcher.jar" Also what is the difference between: %ANT_ARGS% and %ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS% Thanks! PS: I only need a way to run java with all the jars in a directory in the classpath. I don't care if I run ant Launcher or Main class. java -cp "D:\Software\webtest\lib\*" org.apache.tools.ant.Main This is because jars have versions in them that change and this is supposed to be in a nightly script.
