How to set native OS variables?
Hi,
I need to set the native OS classpath and them <exec> an application.
I've been reading the ant docs and several usenet posts but didn't find a
way to do it. It's quite simple to retrieve the OS properties but, is there
any way to set them ?
Thanks in advance,
- Juan

Oops, you are right... the <sysproperty> element is
for setting JVM system properties (during a <java>
task)
The <env> element of the <exec> is correct

Its possible to set environment variables passed to <exec>'ed
processes with nested <env> elements. The documentation for the
<exec> task shows a couple of examples.
Something like this should do the trick for you:
<exec executable="something">
<env key="CLASSPATH" value="/opt/classes:....."/>
</exec>

Try looking at the <sysproperty> sub-elements of the
<exec> task, it allows you to define system properties
that will be set on the process that is hosting the
executable...
