Good Afternoon Patrick-
Ant uses the filesystem which is provided by the Operating System so if your on Windows using NTFS and your installation folder for program fubar was installed at C:\Program Files (C:\Program Files\fubar) which would map to C:\PROGRA~1\fubar but in the case of Ant,Maven (and every other utility developed under Unix) and ported to Windows then use back-slashes e.g. C:/PROGRA~1/fubar in the case of an UNC name you can use a Machine and ShareName \\Machine\ShareName hth Martin ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
