Also, keep in mind that when running Ant through the wrapper scripts that
your environment classpath is already available and used by Ant and all
tasks that it runs in its own VM.
Perhaps you should discuss more about what you are planning on doing with

Probably more a sign of a flawed documentation (patches are always

First, define the classpath that you want to use and don't care for
the environment variable.

How about looking at the problem another way and extracting out
the common code into a subtarget to which you can pass a parameter
using the antcall task. Something along the lines of the following ...
target name=BuildEnvironmentPkg.make
exec executable=msdev.exe
env key=CL
Thanks Jill, that was helpful. I had been wondering if there was a way
for a target to call another target, besides using the 'depends'
attribute.
I did find a trick that uses a target's 'depends' to set properties
before calling the task that executes 'msdev.exe'. Have a look at the
chunk
there's a target called antcall which does that.
