It seems that if I set one environment variable, I need to set them all. Is this how you see it working?

David,
It is there now. You can try
<target name="exectest"> <exec command="exectest.bat" dir="."> <env key="ANT_TEST" path="../test:../test2"/> </exec> </target>
to set the ANT_TEST environment variable to a classpath.
