When I tried to use <sysproperty> in <javac> and <exec> task, build
compilation is failing with the following errors.
javac doesn't support the nested "sysproperty" element.
exec doesn't support the nested "sysproperty" element.
It looks like that element is supported only with <java>.
But I want to set env variables for <javac> and <exec >tasks. Can anyone help
me ???????
