Hello,

trying to run an Ant build script within Eclipse and to call signjar the
build failed, because the directory of jarsigner.exe (on Windows XP prof.)
was not set in the PATH environment. After setting the environment the build
was only successful after restarting Eclipse.

Is there a way to reload the OS environment for Eclipse (and its plugins
like Ant) instead of restarting Eclipse?
I use Eclipse 3.4.2.

AFAIK this is not possible (it's not eclipse, it is the OS process that
has its environment variables). Changing a variable in the parent
process is not made visible to the running child processes automatically
