I can\'t run the windows \'start\' using ant exec. Ant version 1.7.1.
Here is sample build.xml to recreate the problem
How about ? Or start.bat ?
Also, where is basedir="." pointing to? If you place a just before your tag, does it print the correct folder (the one with the "start" program in it)?
basedir="."
Additionally, you could add before to see all visible properties.
