Paul, Using jde-ant-program and jde-ant-home as you describe would be the better solution although you should get rid of the ` before jde-ant-program.

I do not use Ant and other contributors created and have been maintaining Ant. I'd prefer to defer to them as to what the best way is to handle this. There is a variable jde-ant-home that specifies the home directory of ant. Shouldn't the path of the ant program be jde-ant-home/jde-ant-program? Thus wouldn't it be better to construct the path to the program as follows: (expand-file-name 'jde-ant-program (expand-file-name (substitute-in-file-name jde-ant-home)))\ - Paul
