Re: set path value permanently

[Alexey Solofnenko]

This is not ANT related, but there are few ways to achieve this. If you open login shells (for example in Gnome terminal select Edit->Current Profile...->Title and Command->Run command as login shell) you can put commands into ~/.profile script (create it, if it does not exist). You can also put commands into ~/.bashrc, ~/.kshrc, or some other script depending on a shell you are using (personally I prefer ~/.profile). Finally, it could be a bad idea to pollute your environment (for example, if you are working on several projects in parallel), so sometimes it is better to create other scripts that will set the environment and run ANT (for example, export PATH=/some/path:$PATH;export ANT_HOME=/some/other/path;ant $@). The last solution does not change global configuration, so it is less likely to break something.
