| How to refer PATH environment variable in <exec > Ant task | How to refer PATH environment variable in <exec > Ant task 2006-12-03 - By Ravi Roy
Thanks to all of you for your responses.
I tried to use first test case to solve 'uppercase/lowercase' issues as
suggested by Peter by using :
<property environment="env" upcase="yes"/>
but got the exception that -- <property type does not support upcase
attribute. I am
using Ant 1.6.5.
Trying other alternatives.....
Regards
Ravi.

This solves only one half of the problem however.
One still needs to specify the path in <exec> using
the correct case for the var name on Windows.
We could I guess create properties with the names
of the environment vars (using the env.NAME'sname
convention, so one would do ${env.PATH's name} to
get the actual name of the upper-cased PATH env. var),
but that's a clunky, no?
Maybe we need explicit <path> and <libpath> elements
in <exec> to deal with such issues. --DD
