I get similar to you :-

--------------
D:\Apache2\apache-forrest-0.8\site-author>forrest run

Apache Forrest.  Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/Main
--------------

This is with me still on Java 5 (1.5-b08) and Windows.

I reckon I did this different from you, rather than use
D:\Apache2\forrest\build\dist\shbat in place I copied
the shbat dir to the same location as where my above
release-dist files were unpacked to. (After deleting
originals) .

I get the same failed result as above.

I'll try doing it in place now and see what happens there.
