Installing Ant on Windows

Installing ant is pretty straight forward.

A few items of note:
1. Make sure the JDK is installed.
C:\ant>java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

2. Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set.
C:\ant>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20

3. Make sure that ANT_HOME is set.
C:\ant>echo %ANT_HOME%
C:\ant\apache-ant-1.8.1

4. Make sure ant is in the path.
C:\ant>ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.8.1 compiled on April 30 2010
