I never noticed that attribute before.  Much thanks, that is exactly
what I was trying to describe earlier.
(Incidentally, Ant says that the "compiler" attribute gets ignored if
"fork" is set to true, and in order to use the "executable" attribute,
you have to set "fork" to true.)

Indeed, I am trying from the command line but I wonder if there is a
way to confirm that this environment variable is being propagated into
Ant when I run Ant?  I set this environment variable but it doesn't
seem to have any effect on the output of a <echoproperties/> task
(which is usually what I use to gauge my Ant settings).  And even with
the value set to "-Xmx512M", I run out of memory, so I wonder if
perhaps it's not getting picked up?  Any suggestions?  (I'm on Win2K.)

Warm regards,

Erik
