I just installed ant on a new windows XP workstation. I have the following settings:

ANT_HOME=C:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.1
JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_12

If I type
ant -version it runs, reports the version then hangs with NTVDM.exe taking half the cpu. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this?


http://www.2-spyware.com/file-ntvdm-exe.html shows that ntvdm.exe is
responsible
for running 16-bit application on 32-bit Windows and it is started when
running the
first 16-bit application.

Could you check if Ant starts that? Try rebooting your computer, start
the taskmanager, locate
the (not running ;) ntvdm.exe, start Ant and relocate ntvdm.exe ...

ntvdm is a process that runs win16 apps, it starts when the first win16 app is run, then hangs around. I would be really surprised by Ant (or java) having anything to with this, unless ANT.BAT pointed to something else, or something in the batch file was running something wierd. But this is a new XP workstation you say? Very odd

As it hangs
 -what does jps -v say? This lists running java processes
