I recently downloaded the J2EE sdk and would like to try it out. My dilemma involves hard coded paths in my build.xml files. Currently, I have an init section where I specify "<property name="j2ee.dir" value="c:\j2sdkee1.2.1" />". Is it possible to remove the hard coded c:\j2sdkee1.2.1 and replace it with an environment var like "J2EE_HOME". This environment var would need to be platform independent. Thanks in advance.
