Setting JAVA_HOME when running Ant from Java

Question

The reason is long and boring, but I need to run an Ant script to compile Java 1.5 code from a Java 1.4 app. I keep getting this error, though:

BUILD FAILED         


        

Answer 1

Shouldn't the backslashes be doubled?

p.setProperty("java.home", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_04");
