It then proceeds with calling the first java that XP finds on its %path%. From the look of your message, webtest.bat thinks that %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe doesn't exist, otherwise we would see: > ..\build\bin\webtest.bat -buildfile cayuse.xml "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\bin\java.exe" -Xms64M -Xmx256M -cp "C:\download\canoo\build\bin\..\lib\runtime\ant-launcher.jar" - XP happens to find a java in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05. The question then is, why doesn't XP recognizes %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe ? Note that tools.jar isn't necessary for most webtest.
