I think my original problem was a caused by myself being in a zombie state
working too late at night where I went into windows explorer window and
copied the path for the JRE's (e.g. Ctrl-C in the address bar) and pasted
the path straight into my ant.properties file "without thinking".
So the instructions are currently correct (using forward slashes) but
maybe it would be worth having a note/example for windows users (e.g.
showing examples like the ones above) to avoid any confusion.
Thanks everyone for responding.
