I want to use a classpath from ant and send it on as a argument of a separate program that is being executed.
It could be set as an environment variable for that task (under exec), but I don't see how to set an environment variable for an exec task. The problem is that I can build up a classpath, but it will have "\" and "/" in it. When the
task is executed by ant, all the "\" are removed (I guess they are simply taken as passing the next literal through). As a result the classpath argument is completely incorrect and my application fails. How can I get Ant to pass
through the classpath literally (or better, make sure that it has proper classpath syntax). The <classpath /> item doesn't work in this case because it isn't an explicit argument of the exec task.


Any suggestions as to how to do this correctly, would be greatly appreciated.
