Does it make a difference if you run ant in the Windows command shell rather than Cygwin?
I’ve been on OSX mostly for a while, which is basically Unix. In the past I certainly compiled River under Cygwin, but normally I use a folder in cygwin’s ‘/home/<insert-user-name-here>’ folder. What I do is soft-link a folder called ‘/home/trasukg/MyDocs’ to ‘/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/<insert-user-name-here>’ (paths will vary, of course - alter to suit your own install). That way the cygwin bash shell doesn’t see any spaces in its path. Hope this helps, Greg Trasuk.
