------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-02-26 16:50 -------
There appear to be at least 3 areas potentially affected:
  Project.setSystemProperties() [noted in the original description]
  Diagnostics.doReportSystemProperties()
  CommandlineJava.setSystem()

There may well be others.  I found these by examining usage of
System.getProperties() in close proximity to Hashtable/Properties.keys().

Note that any larger process embedding Ant or any custom task can throw these
areas of Ant into disarray (i.e. into inability to find key JVM system
properties) by simply doing:
  Properties  props = new Properties( System.getProperties() );
  ... add or load additional properties into 'props' ...
  System.setProperties( props );

As long as Ant does not carefully use propertyNames() and getProperty() rather
than keys() and get(), any such calling program or custom task will hide all
system properties from these portions of Ant -- with disastrous and hard to
trace effects.
