I had go with your sample code and the env.bat file I created ran!
The contents of the env.bat:
@echo off
echo "hello"
I also wrapped your target with the following project definitions:
<project name="test" default="init" basedir=".">
<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
<echo message="Begining execution of the bat file"/>
<exec executable="c:\bea\env.bat">
</exec>
</target>
</project>
I ran if from c:\ but before doing that I set the following environment
variables:
C:\>path=c:\jakarta-ant-1.3\bin;%path%
C:\>set ant_home=c:\jakarta-ant-1.3
C:\>set java_home=C:\jdk1.3.0_02
And I got the following results:
C:\>ant -buildfile c:\temp\build.xml
Buildfile: c:\temp\build.xml
init:
[echo] Begining execution of the bat file
[exec] "hello"
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
C:\>
I hope there's someting here that may help :-).

Subject: Execute another bat file.
Friends:
I have all my classpath settings and environment variables settings in a
batch file called env.bat
>From build.xml I want to call the env.bat so that I do not have to do the
class path settings in every build.xml file.
Here is the build.xml file snippet:
<!--Execute the bat file that sets the environment -->
<target name="init">
<tstamp/>
<echo message="Begining execution of the bat file"/>
<exec executable="c:\bea\env.bat">
</exec>
</target>
When I run ant, it says build successful, but the env.bat is not executed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
