Hi, Why not try:
java %ANT_OPTS% -classpath "%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant-launcher.jar" "-Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%" org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher %ANT_ARGS% -cp "%CLASSPATH%" %ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS% -----Original Message----- From: Gabriel Petrovay [mailto:gabipetro...@gmail.com] Sent: den 9 februari 2011 13:07 To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: Run ant with java from Powershell Hi! Did somebody manage to launch ant form the ant.jar with java? I cannot make it work. I must include all the jars in a certain directory in the classpath. Using java 6, I tried: java -cp "D:\Software\webtest\lib\*" org.apache.tools.ant.Main and I get: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: D:\Software\webtest\lib\ant-1/7/0/jar Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: D:\Software\webtest\lib\ant-1.7.0.jar at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) So, probably "D:\Software\webtest\lib\*" gets expanded using spaces between the path items instead of columns (;). Any ideas?
