DO u need the classpath set even after the build is over?
The classpath that your env.bat sets is a local classpath and
its visible only while you run ant. This is because it is being called by ant's exec.
If you dont need the classpath after the build, this should not be an issue.

Hi Simon, Aarti:
It looks like this is what is exactly happening.
Before executing the bat file, the classpath contains
c:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;.;
Even after executing the bat file, the classpath remains the same. Ant does
not give me any errors. It says BUILD successful.
However if I execute the bat file from the command prompt directly, the
classpath is set accordingly. Is there any workaround for this.
I am attaching my env.bat file, which is in c:\bea folder.
Thanks in advance
