Why? You have a working ANT build file. Why can't you install ANT
where required? Maybe you could provide a batch file that checks for
the existence of ANT and installs it as required?

Otherwise, I'd suggest just using your shell (cmd.exe) to build up the
correct classpath, and then create a batch file from that.

HTH,

Not to be facetious, but do you require ant for your project's 
distributions?

Well, yes, this was an attempt in that direction.  It still confuses 
me.  It complains about a missing javax/vecmath/Tuple3f.class, but I've 
put the vecmath.jar right there in the -classpath argument.  I've 
verified the vecmath.jar path, and that it contains said .class file.  
So I remain very confused why I might be getting this error in this 
batch file, but not via "ant run".


Irk...  Nevermind.  I just made some changes, making the paths in the 
classpath relative, and its working now.  I can't explain it.  Not sure 
why the absolute paths failed from the batch file.

Thanks anyways.

To run an ant build file, you need ant. If the users are on your
network, and have access to some of the same shared drives as you, then
you could put ant on a shared drive and run it from a wrapper script
(.bat) that sets up ANT_HOME, JAVA_HOME, etc.
