Hi,
I have checked on this a bit further and there is a JDK bug in 1.3.1-b24
(maybe only on Win2k) which causes the ant problem. The issue is that
Process exec(String command, String[] env) should follow its documented
behaviour...
If envp is null, the subprocess inherits the environment settings of the
current process
But a simple test shows that Path is not inherited (latex is in Path)
and cannot even be explicitely passed. I had a look on the Sun Bug
Parade but couldn't see anything.
e.g. None of below work except number one which uses fully qualified
path.
import java.io.*;
public class MyTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//try to start latex
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
try
{
run.exec("c:\\program
files\\miktex\\miktex\\bin\\latex.exe d:\\test.tex", null);
System.out.println("First test complete");
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("First test failed : " + ex);
}
try
{
run.exec("latex d:\\test.tex", null);
System.out.println("Second test complete");
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("Second test failed : " +
ex);
}
String[] env = new String[] { "Path=\"c:\\program
files\\miktex\\miktex\\bin\"" };
try
{
run.exec("latex d:\\test.tex", env);
System.out.println("Third test complete");
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("Third test failed : " + ex);
}
String[] env2 = new String[] { "PATH=\"c:\\program
files\\miktex\\miktex\\bin\"" };
try
{
run.exec("latex d:\\test.tex", env2);
System.out.println("Fourth test complete");
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("Fourth test failed : " +
ex);
}
}
}

Alex,
did you solve this problem? I get exactly the same error when trying
to run a batch file with <exec>. The batch file is fine, of course.
