Wouldn't work in general case. >Next, I would look better if it was rather like : ><exec ...> > <env key="k1" value="v1"/> > <env key="k2" value="v2"/> ></exec> Much better. The problem I see is that that means all tasks will be forced to go through an antRun.[bat|sh] which is a overhead (2 processes rather than 1) and also may limit on win32 systems that I believe can only take 10 parameters in batch files. The only *general* solution I can think of is to write scripts that read from standard in to get environment/other parameters/executable name. Then change the java code to write stuff to standard in with certain seperators. Ugly - hell yes. Workable ? I guess so.
