Unable to run Ant

[Vishal Arora <vi...@gmail.com>]

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Whenever i try to run apache ant in the console window i always encounter
the error "*Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher*". I have been facing this  problem
since i download Ant. I have tried many methods but the outcome is always
nothing. I am using Java 7.

Thank You

Hi Vishal,

Sounds like launcher is not in you classpath.
The best way is to set 2 environment-variables before running ant:
JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK (or JRE if you don't need tools.jar)  and
ANT_HOME that points to your ant installation directory.
see "Installing Apache Ant" (espacially chapter "Setup") and "Running 
Apache Ant" in http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html

Kind Regards

Rainer
