I don't know, possibly in the Using Ant section where
system properties are discussed. This is where I was
looking. I never really noticed before the difference
between Java System properties and environment
variables. I never had any reason to look for them
and it just never dawned on me that your environment
variables are not in your System properties. So I
don't know if this is really where it belongs, but I
probably would put the reference somewhere in Using
Ant.

I didn't try to do it this way because I was able to
do what I wanted using
<fileset dir="${env.JAVA_HOME}" >
<include name="src/**/*.java" />
</fileset>
But that still left me with the problem of too many
args in Windows. It works on Solaris although it
takes forever because javadoc dutifully loads every
source file, when you only really need them for
reference. It's the difference between 30s and 7+
mins build time...
