from the manual: "Windows and OS/2 Assume Ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the environment: set ANT_HOME=c:\ant set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.2 set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin"
my system variables: ANT_HOME "C:\ant" //do I want a "/" at the end? JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\" //do I want a "/" at the end? PATH "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\" //do I want a "/" at the end? what should the value of PATH be? i'm using start/settings/control panel/system/advanced/environmental variables/system variables/ to set/get this info. I prefer this method to set the var's because I can check that they have the correct values, versus clobbering(?) from the command line. am I alone in finding this arcane? For instance, is PATH specific to java, or do other applications use that variable? from the general nature of the word "path" I infer many different applications would use this variable, it strikes me as odd that it should be the JDK's path..? sorry for the digression, pls just help me set these variables so everything works, the why is incidental at this point :) thanks, Thufir -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
