Yes, it is due to the double quotes. You do not need double quotes to define a
classpath with spaces. You only need quotes when you use that classpath value
in a command line. This is what ant.bat does. It quotes the classpath in case
it contains spaces. If your CLASSPATH variable contains quotes, the
additional quoting will break things. You example above would become
".;G:\....;"C:\Apache Tomcat 4.0\...";"
So the command line that actually gets passed to Java looks like you are
trying to run the Tomcat class with an argument starting with "4.0\"
