Is it possible to change System PATH variable through ant task ?

[sudip barat <sb...@cisco.com>]

I wanted to know if it is possible to update the System PATH variable to
include path of CVS.exe . I am writing a web based application . The tomcat
on the unix box does not have CVS in the  system path as a result my <cvs>
task fails . Is it possible for me to have the cvs.exe path included in
build.xml or is it possible to set the path in the
org.apche.tools.ant.Project I am creating from my servlet to execute the
build.xml ?

Thx 
 sb

afaik ant looks for the cvs executable in the path environment and in the
current directory. so if you're on an unix box you might want to try 
setting a link
in the users home directory pointing to the executable.
