            Bug ID: 56720
           Summary: Unrecognized option: -dant.home=C:\ANT\1.7.0
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7.0
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
          Assignee: notifications@ant.apache.org
          Reporter: August.heinsen@jpmorgan.com

Hello, for anyone attempting to reproduce this issue. I have done a base
installation of ANT 1.7.0 on a virtual desktop. ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are both
set to their respective homes, and my path variable includes them as well with
the bin location. 


So I have not made any custom changes to the build.xml, ant.bat, etc. 

>From the command line, I have inputted these two types of options:

ant 

ant -version

this is the output:

Unrecognized option: -dant.home=C:\ANT\1.7.0
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

ERROR: The file is either empty or does not contain the valid choices.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>ant
Unrecognized option: -dant.home=C:\ANT\1.7.0
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

ERROR: The file is either empty or does not contain the valid choices.


Just for an indicator, here is my java version so that you may see my JRE.


C:\Windows\SysWOW64>java -version
java version "1.6.0_31-rev"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-rev-b23)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.6-b02, mixed mode)


And to restate everything, I just installed the version of Ant that was
available to me for my virtual desktop. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What if you change your path to a minimum?

set ANT_HOME=???
set JAVA_HOME=???
set PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

I've looked at the relevant source tree, and the ant.bat in upstream correctly
uses a capital -D -- and has since that line was last changed in 2006. I'd
strongly suggest checking whether you might have any local wrappers with a
higher precedence in PATH than the upstream-provided one.

Certainly, still you have "-dant.home=C:\ANT\1.7.0" in the execution of it.

if you test:

c:\where ant

what do you get ?


The best would be to set the last idea about cleaning up on the environment
variables.

Hi Charles, when I do this check this is the PATH provided by an echo :

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>echo %PATH%

I'd like to reply to comment #1 as well from you. I looked into it and it
appears that you could be right, I changed all encounters of -dant.home to
-Dant.home which was 4 lines in the batch file. It does still reproduce the
error however.

I'm not sure though of the local wrappers containing a higher precedence in
PATH, I believe that ANT is seen by my OS though. Is this what you were asking?
Hopefully that helps with the error checking. Also, I can echo out the ant.bat
to see where it is going wrong and add that in my initial post if that might
help anyone else who may reach this issue.

The -d needs to be an upper-case -D.

Can you confirm that the distributed ant.bat contains such an error?
