Summary: ant.bat execution fails if CLASSPATH ends with double-
quotes
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7.0
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Wrapper scripts
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: dim.242@gmail.com
If the CLASSPATH environment variable ends with a " (double-quote character),
then the Ant scripts will not work; the error message is "The syntax of the
command is incorrect.".
This is due to the line 82 in the script file ant\bin\ant.bat:
if not _%CLASSPATH:~-1%==_\ goto findAntHome
Indeed, variable expansion+manipulation here results in this:
if not _"==_\ goto findAntHome
which obviously breaks the syntax of the shell.
A quick fix is
* either to remove the double-quote characters around the last CLASSPATH entry
* or to add an additional semi-colon ( ; ) character at the end of your
environment CLASSPATH value

we know this, but we also dont see an easy way to detect and fix it in ant.bat;
it is in the category of 'system specific configuration errors', I'm afraid.
There is no need whatsoever to have double quotes in the CLASSPATH variable.
Really. If you have them, delete them. Ideally, you shouldnt use CLASSPATH at all.
marking as WONTFIX, though it is actually CANTFIX.
