reading system variables?

Hi,

Is there a way to read the System variables like PATH or CLASSPATH with Ant?

Thanks -- Hadi

You can access the CLASSPATH variable using ${java.class.path} in Ant.

For the PATH, you can start ant with -Dos.path=$PATH and access it in
Ant using ${os.path}.

Hope it helps,
