Hi, Gregor
Well, let's try and troubleshoot this through. I recall having had identical
hangs last year; I wish I could remember why. :-)
Could it be a line-ending issue? This has bitten us a few times, depending
on what machine a committer was on when they committed UNIX shell scripts,
and if they weren't careful. I did it a time or two myself, committing the
shell scripts with DOS line endings.
Failing that, what happens when you set the environment variables by hand,
and then execute the final command by itself, not through the script...still
no joy?
Can you run your current Ant on other build files?
What version of Ant are you using? Try Ant 1.3 if all else fails.
Just some starter ideas. I'm sure we'll get to the solution sooner or later.
