Agreed with Jan. If you want to modify permanently the environment
variables of Windows machines, one of the tools you
can use is VBS. I think you will find articles about which API calls to
use to do this in VBS.
Ant can kick off a VBS script if you do
<exec executable="wscript.exe">
<arg value="full path to vbs file"/>
</exec>

You are right: you cannot change the values from Ant.
You could use the "setx" system command, so NEW processes will get the new
values.
I dont know any possibility to change the environment for RUNNING processes.
Maybe via PowerShell, WindowsManagementInstrumentation, ... a la
for(Projess p : allRunningProcesses)
p.setEnv(key, newValue)

Betreff: Ant Environment
Hello,
I'd like to make ant modify my current shell environment on Windows
maschines.
Example:
I'd like something like an 'ant set' (target 'set') that sets some
'foo=bar'. Calling that target should have the same effect
than calling
'set foo=bar'.
I tried some stuff: calling python scripts, generating and executing
batch files, using setx, using cmd /C set.
I think this is a more general problem and I think it is not
possible at
all (maybe someone could confirm this):
All processes are forked or run in a separate shell and so in
a separate
environment. Changing this environment does not affect the environment
from which I'm calling ant.
Any ideas ? Windows-System calls ? Python calls ?
Thanks,
Philipp
