ant.build.clonevm

ant.build.clonevm

Since Apache Ant 1.7

The value of the ant.build.clonevm system property controls how Antinstruments forked Java Virtual Machines. The java and junit tasks support clonevmattributes to control the VMs on a task-by-task basis while the systemproperty applies to all forked Java VMs.

If the value of the property is true, then all system properties ofthe forked Java Virtual Machine will be the same as those of the JavaVM running Ant. In addition, if you set ant.build.clonevm to true and build.sysclasspath has not been set, thebootclasspath of forked Java VMs gets constructed as ifbuild.sysclasspath had the value "last".

Note that this has to be a system property, so it cannot bespecified on the Ant command line. Use the ANT_OPTS environmentvariable instead.
