Use of environment properties

[Christophe Demarey <Ch...@lifl.fr>]

Hi,

I want to set an environment property in my own ant task.
I don't know the way to do this.
Can someone help me?

It tried this :
        org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property prop_task = null;
        org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property env_task = null;
       
        env_task = new org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property();
        env_task.setProject(getProject());
        env_task.setEnvironment("env");
        env_task.execute();

        prop_task = new org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property();
        prop_task.setProject(getProject());
        prop_task.setEnvironment("env");
        prop_task.setName("env.LD_LIBRARY_PATH");
        prop_task.setValue("mypath");
        prop_task.execute();

but without success.

Thanks,
Christophe.

Hi,

I want to launch an application (not a java application) that needs an 
environment property.
In my Ant task, I have the following line :
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( my_app );

my_app needs to access the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find 
libraries.
I need to set this variable in my ant task and don't know how to proceed.

Thanks for your help.
Christophe.

If you mean you want to permanently set this in the
environment of the Ant process as a true environment
variable, you can't.  Let's back up; -why- do you want
to do this?  Then we'll know how to proceed.
