Martin, I'll attach a message I wrote not too long ago that dealt with this:
=== Yeah, the process is way broken. IIRC, these were some of the issues I dealt with: * had to launch the build process from a DOS window that had environment memory set to 4096K (as you already noted) * some of the batch files were written on UNIX, and therefore use line-feeds as line terminators, instead of the DOS standard carriage-return/line-feed combo. DOS ignores LF's in batch files (sees them as whitespace), and therefore tried to process several lines of batch file as one single line. So I had to take the bin\ant.bat file and convert it CR/LF's using my editor. * The whole point of all the batch files is to finally build a "java" command to kick off ant. But even after all the stuff above it still didn't generate the right start-up command - put lots of extra space in the classpath. I wound up debugging the batch file, echoing out what it was trying to build, then taking it, fixing it by hand, and putting into a batch file of my own (email me if you need it and I'll send it to you). Once I finally ran that batch file, the WAR was generated fine and everything went smoothly. Hope this helps. Email if not.
