Both <exec> and <apply> have a 'resolveExecutable', but only <exec>
seems to have a 'searchpath' attribute. But if ${java.home}/bin/java
below works, it's absolute so this problem becomes moot.

Ah, it may be ${java.home} you need to use. I might (again) to wrong,
but I vaguely recollect using ${java.home}/bin/java. --DD

${java.home} is the jre home:

I have used : ${java.home}/../bin/java

But there also a java.exe in ${java.home}/bin
