Could ant be thrown off by a 1.7 upgrade? The upgrade is the only big chang=
e since things were last working, and another person who upgraded is showin=
g the same symptom (no one else handy to compare with).
An ant build setup no longer finds python. It seems like it used cygwin's p=
ython before, but ant can't find python now. The cmd line that worked befor=
e is given below, plus a small test case.

-bash-3.2$ ant dist
=A0[...]
=A0=A0=A0 C:\svn\trunk\tools\build\wsdl\build.xml:60: Execute failed: java.=
io.IOException: Cannot run program "python":
=A0=A0=A0 =A0CreateProcess error=3D2, The system cannot find the file speci=
fied

See build.xml testcase below. Same result with "python" and "python.exe".

-bash-3.2$ which ant
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin/a=
nt

-bash-3.2$ which python
/bin/python

</project>
