Is there any update on this issue? This has suddenly become very important for us because of this bug: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42742. We need to be able to set the PermGen space for large multi-module builds.

This is also a problem for Scala builds, where 'scala.home' cannot be passed, this is a problem when using the fast scala compiler.

ant4eclipse is instructed via ANT_OPTS, so this feature is crucial for us.
BTW Eclipse allows to do that.
