How to refer PATH environment variable in Ant task

[Ravi Roy]

Hi All,

 

I want to refer the environment variable in created in Windows XP using
<exec> Ant task, but it does not seem to refer that.

 

My purpose is to run java.exe along with executing the application and
referring ZIP/JARs by the application at execution time from the PATH
variable.

 

<property environment="env" />

 

<target name="main">

          <exec dir="${project.root}/classes" executable="java.exe">

             <env key="PATH" path="${env.PATH} />

              <arg
line="-XrunpiAgent:mode=full,server=standalone,profile=myprofile,filters=myf
ilters.txt,file=trace.trcxml com.mycomp.test.MyApp" />

          </exec>

 </target>

 

or there is some limit in terms of maximum characters specified on the
command line ?

 

Thanks for pointers in advance!

 

Regards.

Ravi.
