Different values of environment variables during build time and run time, eg. JAVA_HOME and PATH

[Loïc Minier]

Hi,

The go plugin might be a good starting place to see how to achieve this; it
uses its own _run() using a custom build environment rather than relying on
the defaults.

So in the ant plugin, change calls to self.run() with calls to self._run
and define _run with your overloaded environment.

Cheers,
