Answer 1

I have had the same problem as above and spent quite a few nights pulling hair out over it. Adding/removing quotes in the environment var and in the ant batch file didn't seem to work though.
I added and echo line to spit out the antRun command and found the LOCALCLASSPATH var was stuffed.
Rather than piss around any further I just wrote a batch file to generate an equivilant variable called JWSDP_ClassPath (for want of a better name).
The batch file code was simply (line by line to make it easier to read):
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH="C:\Program Files\Sun\s1studio_jdk\j2sdk1.4.1_02\lib\tools.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\server\lib\catalina-ant.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\jaxp-api.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xsltc.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xercesImpl.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xalan.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\sax.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\dom.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\lib\optional.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\lib\ant.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Program Files\Sun\s1studio_jdk\j2sdk1.4.1_02\lib";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Java\jwsdp-1.3\common\lib";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Java\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\lib";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Java\jwsdp-1.3\server\lib";
I then call this before the antRun command and use JWSDP_CLASSPATH rather than LOCALCLASSPATH in the ant.bat, eg:
call set_JWSDP_CLASSPATH
:runAnt
java -cp %JWSDP_CLASSPATH% "-Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%" "-Djwsdp.home=%ANT_HOME%\.." %ANT_OPTS% org.apache.tools.ant.Main %ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
This will obviously need to be customised to the install paths on the PC it is run on....
Anyway hope this helps someone if the above more simle solutions do not.
