Do not raise a bug about this issue until you have checked to ensure
that the problem is not due to your classpath specification.

A common problem is not having the executable on the

have a look at your PATH

Just type the command directly on the command line and if
+ Windows finds it, Ant should do it too. (Otherwise ask on
+ the user mailinglist for help.) If Windows can not execute

+ (set PATH=%PATH%;dirOfProgram
) or specify the
+ absolute path in the executable
attribute in
+ your buildfile.
