Thanks for the help. I found out what the problem was. setting classpath=%ANT_HOME%\lib\*.jar did not work. I had to list them all seperatly, ie: set classpath=%classpath%;%ANT_HOME%\lib\crimson.jar;%ANT_HOME%\lib\jaxp.jar Tedious, no? Can someone answer this? On Java 2 platforms, I've read that you can just collect your jar files in JDK_HOME\jre\lib\ext. The JVM looks there each time it runs. It would be better than having a mile-long classpath. The instructions for installing ant caution against doing this with ant.jar, saying that ant is an application. Would it be considered good practice to add jar files to JDK_HOME\jre\lib\ext provided they are NOT applications?
