Loading Environment Variables in java through the Ant script

I'm using jibx to convert a xml to JAVA and vice versa. Here, in an Ant script, I'm using the following code to load the JIBX_HOME path from the environment variable:

<property environment="env"/>
<property name="jibx-home" value="${env.JIBX_HOME}"/>

I have set the JIBX_HOME environment variable to .bashrc as follows:

export JIBX_HOME=/rezsystem/jibx_1_2_2/jibx

But this path is not loaded to the jibx-home property. When I simply type $ set command in the terminal it prints. JIBX_HOME=/rezsystem/jibx_1_2_2/jibx successfully. What have I missed here? My OS is Ubuntu 12.10 and my IDE is Eclipse kepler.

Solution

  • Make sure you add the line to the current bashrc like, key in on a shell,

    vi ~/.bashrc

    or

    gedit ~/.bashrc

    then enter the line at the end,

    export JIBX_HOME=/rezsystem/jibx_1_2_2/jibx

    don't use sudo command, save the file and restart the system.
