Hello ant gurus (dev too), I have a very curious problem: for a couple of weeks 
I have been using a hand tweeked build.xml acquired from a Tomcat servlet 
server download as a template to compile servlet and jsp base projects that run 
under Tomcat. Maybe this is a Tomcat mail list problem but since I'm here I 
might as well take the heat if this is the wrong ML. The build.xml file I have 
been using the past couple of weeks has worked perfectly until today. Upstream 
in the build.xml is a list of so-called File and Directory names defined as ant 
properties. One of the properties that defines the Tomcat installation 
directory home: catalina.home corrupts the directory path string that is 
assigned to it i.e the directory path string loses the backslash delimiter (\) 
and the string is compressed together. An example follows and thanks in advance.

<property name="catalina.home" value="C:\Program Files\Apache Software 
Foundation\Tomcat 5.5"/>

At comple time namely when at the command line the following ant sequence is 
issued: ant (or ant compile) the following error condition is returned:

build

compile:
     [echo] Using user.home=C:\Documents and Settings\hbd6345
     [echo] Using catalina.home=C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat
