i would like to know the following 3 things

1)when i run my build.xml file by using ant -v command i see this error in my
konsole ??

  [java] 'com.ora.ITS.SDK.Tools.ConsoleDistribBuilder'
    [java] '-f'
    [java] 'SRC/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.distribdef'
    [java] '-o'
    [java] 'SRC/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.distrib'
    [java]
    [java] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
    [java] not part of the command.
 
due to the following code iam using in my build file
 
<target name="parcel" depends="init,compile"
    description="Creats parcel file">
    <java append="true" fork="true" failonerror="true" classpathref="classpath"
      classname="com.ora.ITS.SDK.Tools.ConsoleParcelBuilder">
      <arg line="-f SRC/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.parceldef -o SRC
/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.parcel"/>
    </java>
</target>
<target name="distribute" depends="parcel">
    <java append="true" fork="true" failonerror="true" classpathref="classpath"
      classname="com.ora.ITS.SDK.Tools.ConsoleDistribBuilder">
      <arg line="-f SRC/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.distribdef -o SRC
/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.distrib"/>
    </java>
 
    <move file="SRC/org/net/carmel/services/ptts/PTTService.distrib" todir="$
{build.distrib.dir}"/>
   
</target>  

but when i run build file simply using ant command the build is successful
altough using ant -v command also make my build successful but giving the error
above i mentioned .

2)
<target name="init">
   <property environment="env"/>
 </target>
 if iam using environment property in my build file what changes will it make
in my build file and can anybody tell why we should use this environment
property
 
3)why fork Attribute is to be used with java task in ant  because after using
fork only my build has stared running fine.

can anybody explain me.
