I think I had 1.10.14 working previously...  and I started out with no quotes.   Note that java is working for me while JAVA_HOME has quotes.

Nevertheless, I remove the quotes and voila!  It is working now...

Well, ant.bat is working.  ant.cmd and antenv still return this error:

C:\Users\Richa>antenv

C:\Users\Richa>/*
'/*' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Odd - ant.bat (and thus, "ant" without an extension) is giving me this:

I don't believe this is related to a change in Ant 1.10.16. I see the
something similar with

C:\Users\bodewig\ant>set JAVA_HOME="c:\Program Files\Eclipse 
Adoptium\jdk-21.0.10.7-hotspot"

C:\Users\bodewig\ant>dist\bin\ant
Files\Eclipse was unexpected at this time.

This is the same with ant.bat of 1.10.15 so likely something that has
changed prior to 1.10.15.

If I remove the quotes, i.e.

set JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.10.7-hotspot

it works.

I'm not much of a batch file programmer myself and don't really know
whether environment variables are expected to be quote here.

C:\>echo %ANT_HOME%
"C:\Program Files\Ant 1.10.16"
Could you please try with

set ANT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Ant 1.10.16

instead?

We can try to figure out what causes the regression by going backwards
between Ant tags. Which version of Ant are you using so far?
