Ant + Vista 64 : “Unable to locate tools.jar” (jre/jdk conflict?)

Question

I\'m trying to use ant in a vista 64 environment to build some docbook/xml files.

However, I can\'t resolve this error message. Anybody have suggestions?

C:\\U

Answer 1

I was getting a "C:\Program" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file error, when running %ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat

I found that I needed to wrap the command in double-quotes in order to get the proper escaping to happen on the path string.

FIX: "%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat" --NOT-- %ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat

Hope that helps!
