Thank you for the response, Santanu.

I didn't before, but since you mentioned it I grabbed a simple hello world
build file and put that in a directory called C:\AntTest -- I am calling
Ant from the Window command line by navigating to the AntTest directory and
then typing the "Ant" command.

Do you mean I can set the JAVA_HOME variable within the build.xml? Or with
a command each time I run the script? I have tried setting JAVA_HOME
immediately before running the Ant command in the Windows command line but
got the same result.

Sorry, I mistyped the ANT_HOME path in the original post, I actually had the
path set correctly. Regardless, I have gone ahead and moved Ant to a
directory with no spaces as you suggested: C:\Ant and changed the ANT_HOME
environment variable accordingly. I did not move the jdk because I'm a
little concerned that other apps are using it and I'm gonna mess something
up (kinda new at this).
So anyway, now when I run the build (with the build.xml in place), I get:
C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest
C:\AntTest>Ant
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6\lib\tools.jar
Buildfile: C:\AntTest\build.xml
hello:
[echo] Hello, World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
Buttom line: Ant is still looking in the wrong directory for Java (jre
instead of jdk). Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Brian
