Brian,
How are you opening command prompt? From start->run by typing 'command' or
by typing 'cmd'?
Thanks,

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Definitely making improvements. The
Progra~1 shorthand works to get Ant to find the right JDK when setting the
JAVA_HOME manually before running the build... without having to manually
set ANT_HOME, etc (commands below). So I guess that is just something I
will need to do manually each time before I run a build? Something was
said
about a .bat file, I guess I could I write a bat file to automate
resetting
JAVA_HOME each time, couldn't I?
This is the output from the Windows command prompt when I use the Progra~1
shorthand:
C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest
C:\AntTest>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_23
C:\AntTest>Ant
Buildfile: C:\AntTest\build.xml
hello:
[echo] Hello, World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
Looks good! I wrote a little .bat file (my first one, hence the
ignorance),
but it closes and opens before I can see the output to confirm there are
no
errors. This is what it looks like:
pause
cd C:\AntTest
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_23
Ant
pause
I does run the target, but for some reason, the first pause works, but the
last pause doesn't work and the command prompt closes before I can read
the
output. I guess what I'm envisioning is a .bat which would:
1. set the JAVA_HOME
2. prompt me for the Ant target I want to run
3. run the ant target
Thanks again for a few tips for this Ant rookie,
Brian
