I think my original problem was a caused by myself being in a zombie state working too late at night where I went into windows explorer window and copied the path for the JRE's (e.g. Ctrl-C in the address bar) and pasted the path straight into my ant.properties file "without thinking". So the instructions are currently correct (using forward slashes) but maybe it would be worth having a note/example for windows users (e.g. showing examples like the ones above) to avoid any confusion.
