Environment not being passed to Apply task command (I think) - Win2k

[healey, alex]

Having some problems with Ant not passing environment to a command line
in Apply etc. I am running on Win2k and have latex working fine on my
command prompt so that I get expected operation when I run...

latex D:\Project\doc\design\SomeDoc.tex

Now I try to use apply like this...


<target name="texToDVI" depends="init">
        <property environment="env"/>
        <echo message="${env.Path}" />
        <apply executable="latex" dest=".">
            <fileset dir="." includes="**/*.tex"
excludes="**/*.docbook.tex"/>
            <mapper type="glob" from="*.tex" to="*.dvi"/>
            <env key="Path" value="${env.Path}"/>
        </apply>
    </target>


and I get...

Now if I instead replace latex with the full path to latex I am fine. If
I remove the env element I also get the same result.

Has anyone seen this problem??

Cheers
