Environmental variables in ant script not working

Question

I\'m trying to set up a machine-independent build environment for a Spring framework project, and my ant configuration appears to be not working. I\'ve searched quite a bit but

Answer 1

I hope you are declaring before using env. notation.

Also, below is the syntax in your build script to set specific environment variables.

**Windows and OS/2**

Assume Ant is installed in c:\ant. The following sets up the environment:

set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk-1.5.0.05
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin

**Linux/Unix (bash)**

Assume Ant is installed in /usr/local/ant. The following sets up the environment:

export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0.05
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin

**Linux/Unix (csh)**

setenv ANT_HOME /usr/local/ant
setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/jdk/jdk-1.5.0.05
set path=( $path $ANT_HOME/bin )

Having a symbolic link set up to point to the JVM/JDK version makes updates more seamless.
