Re: Please test Ant 1.10.16 release candidate

I think I had 1.10.14 working previously...  and I started out with no 
quotes.   Note that java is working for me while JAVA_HOME has quotes.

Nevertheless, I remove the quotes and voila!  It is working now...

Well, ant.bat is working.  ant.cmd and antenv still return this error:

C:\Users\Richa>antenv

C:\Users\Richa>/*
'/*' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
