I am working on Windows 2000. Below is my implementation to get an system
env from ant.
<project default="compile" basedir=".">
<!--
=================================================================== -->
<!-- Initialization target
-->
<!--
=================================================================== -->
<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
<property environment="ENV"/>
<property name="ANTCONF_DIR" value="${ENV.WORK_DIR}/src"/>
<property name="SRC" value="${user.dir}"/>
</target>
<!--
=================================================================== -->
<!-- Compiles the source directory
-->
<!--
=================================================================== -->
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<ant antfile="${ANTCONF_DIR}/build_cfg.xml"
target="compile"/>
</target>
</project>

Since there is no way to get at environment variables from
java, I was stunned to see that you could do it and ran
off to create a test script.
...catch is it doesn't work under Windows 2000.
<project default='echoenv'>
<property environment='env'/>
<property name="test" value="hello whirled"/>
<target name='echoenv'>
<echo>path = ${env.PATH}
test = ${test}</echo>
</target>
</project>
output:
Buildfile: build.xml
echoenv:
[echo] path = ${env.PATH}
test = hello whirled
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds
I guess Win2000 is not one of the 'select' platforms
that the task works under...
