Pete,

As others have said, you need to pass environment variables to ant on
the command line. Nevertheless, there are a number of standard system
properties which are available to ant, including the classpath. Try

      <echo message="Classpath is ${java.class.path}"/>

to see the value.

If you run ant -debug (or ant -verbose in ant 1.1) you will see the
various properties being set.
