Hi Kent,
Great! You found a solution!
I had the same problem recently with a project at work.
In my build.xml, I have the following to make it work:
<env key="PATH"
path="${env.PATH}:${cto7.home}/Plugin/FacetTfm/carat_sharp/init"/>
where:
${env.PATH} is what is currently in my system path variable
${cto7.home}/Plugin/FacetTfm/carat_sharp/init is the path I want to add.
This method avoids setting any system variables outside of the build.xml file
regardless of the platform I am using.
