Well that may be a problem. In general, you do not need quotes in
environment variables, even those with spaces. Ant.bat quotes the usage of
environment variables at the point of usage and if they already contain
quotes, there will be problems.

The best way to debug these problems is to turn echo on in the ant.bat file
and see where it runs into problems.

Also, I would start from a command line shell to get things sorted out
before using your textpad 'tool'.

Well, perhaps when they added support for long filenames, they could have
upgraded the command interpreter too and made its operation uniform across
the different versions of Windows.
