Also, keep in mind that when running Ant through the wrapper scripts that
your environment classpath is already available and used by Ant and all
tasks that it runs in its own VM.
Perhaps you should discuss more about what you are planning on doing with
the CLASSPATH from the environment, because its very unusual that you'd need
access to it directly and there is likely to be a more recommended way of
doing what you're trying to do.
Ant provides system properties to you, and you will have ${java.class.path}
available already if needed.
