This is the root location of the directory where you unzipped ant. e.g. if you unzipped ant into c drive then your ANT_HOME variable is “c:\ant”

For windows..

Assume Ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the environment:

set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk-1.5.0.05
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin

For unix/linux(bash)

Assume Ant is installed in /usr/local/ant. The following sets up the environment:

export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0.05
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin

For linux/unix(csh)

setenv ANT_HOME /usr/local/ant
setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/jdk/jdk-1.5.0.05
set path=( $path $ANT_HOME/bin )

Try thzz …it definitely works..

I made an installer called WinAnt to automate these steps. You can download it from http://code.google.com/p/winant/
