OS: Windows NT v4sp6a Ant: v1.1 Aug 31, 2000 build running ANT and I can not pass more than 5 parameters that ANT seems to process. Given the following line: ant -verbose -Dbuild.compiler=jikes -DDIST=dist -DBUILD=build -DJARFILE=st d_alex.jar -DALEX=alex -DBOGUS=bogus in the build.xml file an echo returns the following for jarfile, alex and bogus: std_alex.jar ${ALEX} ${BOGUS} How can I get ANT to take in these parameters? If I rearrange the parameters the result changes so that only the 5th parameter is the last parameter to expand and the 6th & 7th don't. -Alexandre --- Sent via the OfficeServant.com web-mail server Come to the free anytime, anywhere web-based office applications server
