ant setup
I'm using Vista with cygwin and ant 1.7.. When I create a build.xml and run ant, I get this:
cygpath: can't convert empty path
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\lib\tools.jar
While I have a C:\P F\Java\jre1.6.0_03, I also have "C:\Program Files\Java\JavaEE 5 SDK".. Here is my environment:
$ echo $CLASSPATH
/cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Apache\ Ant\ 1.7.0/lib:/cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Tomcat\ 6.0/lib:/cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/JavaEE\ 5\ SDK/jdk/lib
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/JavaEE\ 5\ SDK/jdk
$ echo $ANT_HOME
/cygdrive/C/Prorgram\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Apache\ Ant\ 1.7.0/bin
Can anyone please help? I'd like to get up and running and am, unfortunately, having difficulty.
Thank you!
Chris

Additionally Vista "hides" the "Program Files" directory. It can be that it is available under names.
E.g. in Germany the Explorer shows "Programme" while the cmd.exe shows "Program Files" - very obscure ...
Personally I have installed my different Ant versions into c:\ant\<version> and my JDKs into c:\jdk\<version>.
c:\ant\165 Ant 1.6.5 for checks
c:\ant\170 Ant 1.7.0 current version
c:\ant\18.1 my own build of SVN TRUNK
c:\ant\setant.bat Batchfile for switching between Ant versions (changes PATH+ANT_HOME)
c:\jdk\130 Ant Core must be 1.3 compliant, so I need a version for test this
c:\jdk\150_12 Our company standard: Java 1.5
c:\jdk\160_02 Newest major release (I could update to 160_03 ...)
c:\jdk\docs-170_b17 Docs shouldnt change so much and be bwc ("@since 1.6")
c:\jdk\setjava.bat Changing JDK version

There may be a further problem: Windows doesn't like path names
greater than 155 characters. I"ve found that installing JDKs and other
Java components under C:\Program and Files can cause you to go over
this limit. That plus the space issue can cause all sorts of issues.
The best way to handle this is to work with projects on the root of
the drive and to install JDKs on the root of the drive.

Hi,
there have been some known bugs in the past with Ant and Java for paths
including "spaces".
I'd give it a try with Java and Ant installed directly on C:
