Hi Ivan, Thank you very much for your help.
I will try ant-contrib and your macro and hopefully it will solve my first problem. > I suppose you are calling a windows command with > <exec>.

The first DLL load is not a problem (I'm just passing java.library.path to the JVM) but when that DLL tries to loads the other DLL's, it searches them in the windows path (this is a normal behavior which has nothing to do with Java / Ant). So what I want is to append the DLL's dir to the windows path just before I run the task but it has to be done in the same process of Ant in order to be visible to the first DLL (which runs in a child process created by the Ant task). I hope that's clear enough. Any other ideas how to set the path through Ant? Thanks, Michael
