Access to Environment Variables

["St. Louis, Thomas (CRD)" <st...@crd.ge.com>]

Ant doesn't seem to pick up my $PATH and $CLASSPATH environment variables.  When I get to the
compiler task, "Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available.".  I'm not seeing how to include
these preset env variables into the build.xml file.  Any help is appreciated.
