strange problem starting ant
Hi,
we are experiencing an strange problem, never seen that before. Our
env is ant1.6.5, jdk1.5.0.07, on a xp. ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set
properly, ant\bin is on the path.
When we run 'ant', we get the following:
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-client to select the "client" VM
-server to select the "server" VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the "client" VM [deprecated]
The default VM is client.
...
java -version shows our version (1.5.0.07). If I run ant the hardcore way:
java -Dant.home=%ANT_HOME% -cp %ANT_HOME%\lib\ant-launcher.jar
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher ...
everything works ok.
We have verified the ant.bat being called is the one in the correct
directory. Any idea?
thanks

Any ANT_OPTS or ANT_ARGS vars?
Do a set ANT at the prompt to see which vars are set. --DD

Ok, we found it, ant.home=C:\apache-ant-1.6.5\, the ending \ was the problem...
thanks everybody

Do you have a CLASSPATH set? Does it have quotes in it? If so, remove
them. If you want to debug this, turn echo on in the ant.bat file and
see what is going wrong.
