(From comment above)

You could always set the variables inside a launch script. I'm confused why you need different PATH values for running .NET and Java though. Your PATH usually tells the OS where to look for executables to run. If that's really what you're changing, then you should just take the union of the two. On Windows you just separate each path in the PATH with a semicolon.
