<p>I'm using Windows and I'm trying to get ANT to work.</p>

<p>When I do an ant build from the command line, I get:
<code>C:\dev\Projects\springapp\${%ANT_HOME%}\lib not found.</code></p>

<p>I look into the <code>build.xml</code> file and I find:
<code>appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.14</code> (which I just copied and pasted straight from a tutorial)</p>

<p>I changed it to:</p>

<p><code>appserver.home="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0"</code></p>

<p>but now I get:</p>

<p><code>C:\dev\Projects\springapp\"C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 6.0"\lib not found.</code></p>

<p>It seems like the white space in Program Files and Tomcat 6.0 are causing the build to fail.  How do you deal with these in xml files without re-creating the directory with a path with no white space?</p>

Change it to
```
```
appserver.home="C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 6.0"
```
```
