Running ant from a batch file: Later commands don't run

Question

I have a batch file that runs ant and then copies one of the files that were produced:

ant -Dproject.version=1.1.2 release published
copy /Y D:\\dir1\\MyJar.         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem once and the magic call did it.

In that batch file of yours try:

call ant -Dproject.version=1.1.2 release published
copy /Y D:\dir1\MyJar.jar   D:\dir2\MyJar.jar

Cannot tell you why it worked, though. Guess it's Microsoft logic.
