Thanks to all of you for your responses. I tried to use first test case to solve 'uppercase/lowercase' issues as suggested by Peter by using :
<property environment="env" upcase="yes"/> but got the exception that -- <property type does not support upcase attribute. I am using Ant 1.6.5. Trying other alternatives.....

One still needs to specify the path in <exec> using the correct case for the var name on Windows. We could I guess create properties with the names of the environment vars (using the env.NAME'sname convention, so one would do ${env.PATH's name} to get the actual name of the upper-cased PATH env. var), but that's a clunky, no? Maybe we need explicit <path> and <libpath> elements in <exec> to deal with such issues. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
