I am having Windows2000 in my system. Here path and include env variables are
identified as "Path" and "include". Only if I try with Path and include, ANT
will echo the original path. If I use PATH, log file displays
Property "env.PATH" has not been set
[echo] PATH is set to = ${env.PATH}
Also I want the modified path setting to persist for the entire build
process and then return back to the original setting. So using exec doesn't
help in modifying env variables temporarily. Is there any other way to set env
variables?

You cant set env variables in <exec>.
<exec> start a new process. Env variables are only visible in that process.
If that process quits the variables are lost.
You cant modify the environment of the running (Ant) process.

p.s.
You have the same problem with batch files. There is a tool "setx" which
can set environment variables on system level. Maybe you could set
env vars for Ants NEXT run. (setx doesnt change current running processes).
