Environment variables available to Ant must be set in the caller's environment *before* launching the Ant Java process. So the answer is no, you cannot set an environment variable within an Ant script the way you might set one in a shell script. If you are <exec>ing another command you can set variables with nested <env>s but that is probably not what you are looking for. If you need to compile with different JDKs the "executable" attribute of <javac> allows for use of different JDK paths. Most other things would require <exec> to change JAVA_HOME.
