Ant.bat does not work with long classpath

           Summary: Ant.bat does not work with long classpath
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Wrapper scripts
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


This is a little weird, but if you have a long classpath, the ant.bat wrapper 
will not properly run org.apache.tools.ant.Main.  My classpath is as follows:

ClassPath=c:\Classes\activation.jar;c:\Classes\ejb.jar;c:\Classes\hpjdbc.jar;c:\
Classes\jaxp.jar;c:\Classes\jcifs-
0.6.5.jar;c:\Classes\jconn2.jar;c:\Classes\jdbc2_0-
stdext.jar;c:\Classes\mail.jar;c:\Classes\parser.jar;c:\Classes\regex4j.jar;c:\C
lasses\servlet.jar;c:\Classes\soap.jar;c:\Classes\tspaces_client.jar;.;C:\

Running ant.bat will report me the java usage.  Somehow the long classpath is 
making the java class fall off, so java reports an error because it is missing 
a class.

The workaround is to modify ant.bat and remove the double quotes around 
classpath.  Before:
  "%_JAVACMD%" -classpath "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" ...
After:
  "%_JAVACMD%" -classpath %LOCALCLASSPATH% ...

Oddly enough, this works.  Note that I do not have any spaces in my classpath, 
which is probably why you have the double quotes there.  If the classpath is 
much simpler/smaller, the problem disappears.

There must be a way to modify ant.bat so that it accomodates a long classpath.
