Hi Hari,
I get sick of setting environment variables at the user level on windows
machines, so my approach to Ant has been to create a batchfile in the
directory with the appropriate build.xml file. This batchfile sets all of
the environment variables and then calls "cmd".
I find this more managable than doing it with system settings, which are
often mangled by installations of other programs, or contain junk from other
installations of software, etc...
The effect is that, to use ant, you double-click on the file from an
explorer window and then type "ant etc..." commands into the resulting
command window (dos-prompt). Following is a sample batch file I am using:
--- antcmd.bat script begins ---
@echo off
REM Set ANT_HOME to the location of your ANT install
set ANT_HOME=d:\apps\java\ant
REM Set JAVA_HOME to the location of your Java install
set JAVA_HOME=d:\apps\java\jre
REM Set Jikes to the location of your jikes install
set JIKES=d:\apps\util\jikes
REM You will probably not need to alter the PATH
set PATH=c:\WINNT\SYSTEM32;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JIKES%\bin
if %1. == . goto interactive
ant %1
goto done
:interactive
cmd
:done
--- antcmd.bat script ends ---
