Syntax Error in build.bat on Windows ME

           Summary: Syntax Error in build.bat on Windows ME
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: dev@cocoon.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jefe182@earthlink.net


I've been receiving a Syntax Error from build.bat for some months (building 
from periodically refreshed CVS). Since my build seemed to work correctly I 
didn't worry about it. If only for aesthetics I think it should be fixed for 
2.1.1.

Checking the revision history of build.bat I found the line:
  set ANT_OPTS=-Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib\endorsed
With "echo on" this line produces the error. I'm running on Windows ME. I'm 
guessing two equal signs are not allowed? I see in build.sh the line is 
similar, so it must be valid syntax on Linux and perhaps on NT's command prompt 
as well.

I believe the error cropped up on 4/29/03 by Vadim. Perhaps someone more versed 
than I in .bat scripting could take a look at it?
