The upcase attribute is just a suggestion.

In your original question you had:
<exec ...>
<env key="PATH" path="${env.PATH} />
There is no need to set the PATH for the exec if you are
not changing the PATH from that that started the ant.
So just remove the <env key="... line.
If java.exe is not in your path, or if you way to use the java
that is used by ant (this would be in ${env.JAVA_HOME}/bin or
${java.home}/../jdk/bin
use the <java/> task instead of the <exec/> task.
