ANT_HOME cmd issue in Windows 8

I have set

  1. ANT_HOME as C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1 (User variables) And PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin (system variables)

It just does not work. I get ANT_HOME incorrectly set or cannot be located.

  1. I also tried: ANT_HOME as C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1 (User variables) And
    PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin (User variables)

I tried re starting the system for both the cases. Nothing works. plz help

You also need to have Java installed and present on path.

Run cmd and there:

set | findstr ANT
set | findstr JAVA

and

echo %PATH% | findstr jdk

each of those commands need to return something.

Verify your java config by running:

java -version
where java

result should be as follows

c:\Guidewire\TrainingApp\bin>java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)

c:\Guidewire\TrainingApp\bin>where java
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
c:\tools\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\java.exe

if it's not, then probably you need to set up Java first

Make sure that your ANT_HOME variable is

If C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin is set in the path, then that should work. Make sure this parameter is separated by a semi-colon(;) in path. set path=C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin;%path%

Or you may try adding double slash once.

After modification plesae execute:

  1. Restart OS
  2. Type in command line set and check if ANT_HOME/ant configuration is present
  3. Type ant -v
