Environment.Variable in dynamic exec task within the script task

 I'm trying to recreate the following in the build.xml using the &lt;script&gt; task and javascript: &lt;exec executable="${exe_location}" dir="${exe_dir}"&gt;  &lt;env key="${env_var_key}" value="${env_var_value}"/&gt;  &lt;arg value="${arg1}"/&gt;  &lt;arg value="${arg2}"/&gt;&lt;/exec&gt; Here's what I tried to do: &lt;target name="testme"&gt;&lt;script language="javascript"&gt; &lt;![CDATA[  execTask = MyProject.createTask("exec");  MyTarget.addTask(execTask);    execTask.setExecutable(    MyProject.getProperty("exe_location"));    execTask.setDir(    new java.io.File(MyProject.getProperty("exe_dir")));    // simulate &lt;env&gt; child element of &lt;exec&gt; task    // ----------------  // Try #1:  envVar = new org.apache.tools.ant.types.Environment.Variable;      // Try #2:  envVar = BatchAppTemplate.createDataType("Environment.Variable");  // ----------------  envVar.setKey("SampleKey1");  envVar.setValue("SampleValue1");    execTask.addEnv(envVar);  ]]&gt; &lt;/script&gt;&lt;/target&gt; Try #1, results in: file:c:/build.xml:253: ReferenceError: "org" is not defined. (&lt;ANT&gt;; line 10) Try #2, results in: file:c:/build.xml:253: TypeError: Cannot convert null to an object. (&lt;ANT&gt;; line 14) I can understand why neither try works. So, what is the proper way to do this? What am I doing wrong?
