This doesn't happen to me -- I get the ant output in an Emacs buffer, no MS-DOS window. I can even click on compile errors and go to the source. But I believe you, I'm sure it's (not) working the way you described! Which versions of Ant, JDE, etc., are you runnning?
Eventually, it might be nice to invoke Ant via java (starting a new JVM), not ant.bat or ant.sh.

Is there some setup for putting the output of the ant command into some emacs buffer (the compilation buffer?) ? Seems like this would be a FAQ, but I couldn't find anything in the ant related customizations, or in the archives. -- ====================================================================== Larry Strollo [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
