Dianne,
thanks for the help, I got it to work. Well sort of. This probably is not a
true ant problem/question but you seem to have a good Unix understanding.
I'm trying to start the ant build from a cronjob. So I call a shell script
which contains the location of the ant executable, logfile, and buildfile.
So it's a one liner that looks like:
/export/home/ant1.3/dist/bin/ant -logfile export/home/tmp/antlog -buildfile
/export/home/tmp/test.xml. 
Now if I cut and paste the crontab entry that calls this one line script to
the command line everything works fine. If crontab executes it I get:
compile:
    [javac] Compiling 1020 source files to /export/home/tmp/classes
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError 

BUILD FAILED

/export/home/tmp/test.xml:32: Error starting classic compiler:(I'm not using
the classic compiler) 
--- Nested Exception ---
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Now I get a Unix mail message which may be the real clue:
Warning: JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set.
  If build fails because sun.* classes could not be found
  you will need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable
  to the installation directory of java.

Something happens differently from crontab!!!?? Any ideas?
Thanks
Dana

Not sure which JDK you're using, but I think jdk1.2.2 uses a different
flag construct than jdk1.3 uses (and I'm not sure if jdk1.1.8 even offers
the memory-increase flag at all) -- run 'java -help' to see what the java
you're running wants for flags for upping the memory (eg., mine has the -X
flag, which you can do a help on, using 'java -X -help', to show you what
the flag should look like). Then, in your .profile, export JAVACMD (not
JAVA_CMD)with that value -- be sure to export it and quote it. For
example, mine would be (using jdk1.3):

export JAVACMD="java -Xmx256m"

If you want to see what the java command-line from the 'ant' script looks
like, bracket the line with set -x/set +x:

set -x
$JAVACMD -classpath "$LOCALCLASSPATH" -Dant.home="${ANT_HOME}" $ANT_OPTS
org.apache.tools.ant.Main "$@"
set +x

You should see something like (I just set it on the command-line for this
example):
[BINKY:dianeh]: JAVACMD="java -Xmx256m" ant noop
+ java -Xmx256m -classpath
.;D:\cygwin\usr\local\ant\jakarta-ant-1.3\lib\ant.jar;D:\cygwin\usr\local\an
t\jakarta-ant-1.3\lib\jakarta-ant-1.3-optional.jar;D:\cygwin\usr\local\ant\j
akarta-ant-1.3\lib\jaxp.jar;D:\cygwin\usr\local\ant\jakarta-ant-1.3\lib\pars
er.jar;D:\cygwin\usr\local\java\jdk13\lib\tools.jar
-Dant.home=D:
\cygwin\usr\local\ant\jakarta-ant-1.3 org.apache.tools.ant.Main noop
Buildfile: build.xml

noop:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

+ set +x
