One more suggestion (same as the last email from Santanu) ... Please try setting PATH to include JAVA_HOME\bin first and then the existing PATH. So before you invoke ant from the cmd, type this: set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
I suspect that the JRE installation has put some kind of java.exe under some Windows folder (system32?). So when it invokes java.exe, it picks up the Windows folder one rather than the one under JAVA_HOME\bin. If you can make your build.xml sleep for a minute and figure out the path to the java.exe (I use ProcessExplorer free tool), this could be confirmed. Do let us know how this goes, Parag Doke Save paper, save trees. Do not print emails/documents unless absolutely necessary.
