| Very Bad use of Ant... | Very Bad use of Ant... 2006-08-28 - By Dan McFadyen
Funny, I spoke too soon.
This lovely new forked and running JVM with it's new ant doesn't seem to be
able to find javac to compile... all the environment variables exist on the
outer JVM, but I am rather stumped.
I have failed my attempts to toss the environment variables into the new JVM
using the combination of:
<property environment="env"/>
and
<env key="JAVA_HOME" value="${env.JAVA_HOME}"/>
I'd be more than happy if someone could point out my mistake.

Hey hey!
I found the stuff I needed after some googling and some of the info from the
first reply, just getting back now and you've made me slightly curious about
what possible side effects would happen without the ant.home as I made it
work without it... Mind you, I am using only to do one small thing so I
might not have noticed it.
Thanks!
Dan

I don't know if this is the official way to call ant within a java task, but
it works for me. Maybe this can help you. This will cause it to outlive
the starting script with no handle to it though.
<java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher"
dir="."
fork="true"
newenvironment="true"
spawn="true"
maxmemory="WHATEVER"
taskname="WHATEVER">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="PATH_TO_ANT_LIBRARY" casesensitive="false">
<include name="*.jar" />
<include name="*.zip" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
<arg value="-f" />
<arg value="FILE_TO_RUN" />
<arg value="-Dant.home=PATH_TO_ANT_HOME" />
<arg value="TARGET_TO_RUN" />
</java>
Note, it is important to set the ant.home property for it to run correctly
Hope this helps!

You can always <java fork="true"> the other Ant, and since they live
in different processes and VMs, they can co-exist peacefully. I think
there's an example somewhere that demonstrates how to call Ant using
<java>. --DD
