2 things 1st see my mail from before regarding dir if you havent seen it yet. This is probably a cause why things arent working from ANT
2nd you can use line='"blah"' if you want to (i.e. single quotes for XML and embedding normal quotes in them), though as far as I know " is also a valid syntax, so this leads me to suspect the first point instead.

In order for the command to work, the -classpath argument needs to be in quotes. Don't ask me why, it just does :) this is what I have in my build.xml <exec executable="D:\java\jwsdp-1_0\bin\xrpcc.bat"> <arg line="-server" /> <arg line="-classpath "D:\projects\coffeebreak-common\target\coffeebreak-common-1.0.jar;targe t\classes""/> <arg line="-d target\classes" /> <arg line="conf\config.xml" /> </exec> but as you can see from the debug, the quotes are missing from executed command. [exec] [DEBUG] Execute:Java13CommandLauncher: D:\java\jwsdp-1_0\bin\xrpcc.bat -server -classpath D:\projects\coffeebreak-common\target\coffeebreak-common-1. 0.jar;target\classes -d target\classes conf\config.xml if I run the exact command above with quotes from cmd, everything works fine. thanks Nathan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
