Hi,
It's probably simpler if you use the bat script that comes with Ant, rather than trying to start Ant using 'java' directly. The bat script takes care of setting up the classpath for you. Have a read of "Installing Ant" and "Running Ant" in the user manual for more info. Otherwise, if you really do want to use 'java' to start Ant, you will need to make sure that $JAVA_HOME\lib\tools.jar is in the classpath (along with all the other stuff it needs).
