ANT learning

[WebGoat]

Down load the latest version of ant from

http://ant.apache.org.

All you need to set are ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME, then add %ANT_HOME%/bin ${ANT_HOME}/bin into your path. Yes, use foward slash even in windows. Only place you cannot use foward slash is inside dos console window itself. This limitation is even lifted by Microsoft in win XP.

so, i would set enviornment variable>System variable ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME.

after that i would go to user variable to set the path.

the path is "%ANT_HOME%/bin ${ANT_HOME}/bin" ..irk! is not it looks peculiar ? this path has got two '/bin' inside it and a '$' in it . whats going on in this path variable ? its strange syntax.

is it a dead forum ?

My guess is that the %ANT_HOME%/bin refers to a Windoze installation, and the $(ANT_HOME}/bin to a UNIX ( and LINUX??) installation.
