Hello:

I can't get Ant to build for some strange reason  I am new to Ant and I am using it to 
build some examples.  I followed all the instructions from the Ant web site but no 
luck.  I am using Ant 1.5 and j2sdk 1.4.1 beta.    I have set the environment 
variables to ANT_HOME=D:\Jakarta\Ant\jakarta-ant-1.5 and JAVA_HOME=D:\j2sdk1.4.1.  

My path is 
Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM;D:\Jakarta\Ant\jakarta-ant-1.5\bin;D:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin.
   

I am using Windows XP.   I received the following message when try to run Ant.  I get 
the same message when I type java at the prompt.  

D:\example\ex1>ant
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
           (to execute a class)
   or  java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...]
           (to execute a jar file)

where options include:
    -client       to select the "client" VM
    -server       to select the "server" VM
    -hotspot      is a synonym for the "client" VM  [deprecated]
                  The default VM is client.

    -cp -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
                  set search path for application classes and resources
    -D<name>=<value>
                  set a system property
    -verbose[:class|gc|jni]
                  enable verbose output
    -version      print product version and exit
    -showversion  print product version and continue

                  enable assertions
    -da[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
    -disableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
                  disable assertions
    -esa | -enablesystemassertions
                  enable system assertions
