You could also source the .profile in your ant script...

<rexec userid="${aname}"
           password="${apass}"
           server="${host}"
           command=". .profile ; cd ${i_dir}; echo $A_HOME $JDK_HOME" />

You've just dropped out of the ant world into the remote linux world.

* You only get stuff in .profile, .cshrc or whatever if you get  a login

prompt, and by default SSH prompts and other remote connections arent.

* I think its an SSH option to turn this back on. Otherwise run bash 
-login to run bash as a login
