Under windows, the ; is indeed the separator in the CLASSPATH, but when you are in
the Cygwin environment (i.e. the Cygwin window or any program started from that
window), you are in a very complete Unix environment and that means your CLASSPATH
separator is changed to : (it's a Unix thing!
Agreed. Forexample, my JAVA_HOME for my RedHat Linux 7.2, using Sun JDK 1.3.1 is:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.3.1
This is because I install all my tools and applications under the /usr/local directory
structure.

I suspected an environment variable issue, but I would recommend having your system
administrator putting ANT_HOME (remember to export it!) in the /etc/profile or
/etc/profile.d/rc.local startup file and then it'll be available to all appropriate
tasks.

If you want to try an alternative command-line for your NT/W2k boxes, try Cygwin
(www.cygwin.com). I use it on the W2K box that I am forced to use and it makes the
whole experience much less painful.
Ant runs just fine under Cygwin.
