problem during building & running j2ee sdk

[Sakina Miyajiwala]

I am certified scjp but a beginner to Java programming. I have installed
j2ee sdk in e:\j2sdkee1.3 folder,
j2se sdk in e:\jdk1.3.1 folder and
jakarta-ant-1_3-bin winzip file in jakarta-ant-1.3 folder.

In autoexec.bat file my entry for path statement is as follows:
PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;e:\jakarta-ant-1.3\bin;e:\j2sdk1.3\bin

When I run j2ee -verbose, it gives bad command or file name.

I tried to set Environment Variables and Value in autoexec.bat as follows:
JAVA_HOME=e:\jdk1.3.1
J2EE_HOME=e:\j2sdkee1.3
ANT_HOME=e:\jakarta-ant-1.3
PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;E:\ANT_HOME\BIN;E:\J2EE_HOME\BIN

While trying to run j2ee -verbose, it gives same error. I cannot even execute ant.
Could someone pls help me in solving this.

Regards and Thanks
Sakina

you're missing the % signs from the env. variable references
try
set JAVA_HOME=e:\jdk1.3.1
set J2EE_HOME=e:\j2sdkee1.3
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%J2EE_HOME%\bin;
