Does your CLASSPATH environment variable end in a backslash (\) ? If so, remove it.
I had a similar problem, I "fixed" it by changing the ant.bat script to remove the quotes around the classpath in the call to java, but I didn't understand why my fix worked (indeed I would have expected it to break things rather than fix them). Someone (some months ago) pointed out on this list that this is a "feature" of Java and its environment string-parsing on Win2k.

Now I have ran into a little problem and I have been looking in all my settings and can't find anything wrong. I've got a JAVA_HOME, an ANT_HOME and classpath and path set. But when I write Ant in the command line it seems like it tries to run java.exe instead of Ant. I get the below message: C:\>ant Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file) where options include: -client to select the "client" VM etc., etc. If I remove the java installation, I get this message instead: Warning: JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set. If build fails because sun.* classes could not be found you will need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation directory of java. So it seems like it finds my ANT_HOME. Could somebody please give me a clue to leed me back on the right (class)path. Thank you in advance.
