Set enviroment variable with ant
I need to set the PGPASSWORD enviroment variable in a ant project, however I
don't know how could I do it... should I use the exec task?

Hi Antoine, thanks a lot for the reply!
I actually solved the problem using the <echo> task! I'll keep those other
possibilities in mind, they might come in handy ;)

Hello Marcelo,
setting an environment variable from ant is possible using the exec task. Using a nested element (see the doc). The new environment variable is only visible for the one particular program started by the exec task.
similarly, the <java/> task can set env vars, this only when you fork java apps.
If you need an env var to be visible to all the <exec/> and <java/> invocations started by an ant build, you need to set this env var before starting ant, for instance in a wrapper script.
Regards,
Antoine
