If you require deeper access into the registry, and can tolerate putting a DLL where JNI can find it, you might look at

I made use of this code for a now-defunct application (and company!), but it was relatively easy to grok and use for read-access to the windows registry. I know it worked on '95, '98, NT4.0 and W2K - I have no idea about the later Windows releases.
I don't think putting an Ant task around this would be too difficult, but, unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to do so.
If this is of any interest, you can reply to me directly if I can help.

Win2K and up, env vars are stored in the registry at a place you can discover using regedit. So if you exec regedit against a file containing registry keys to load (save an example, edit it by hand or with filters), you could do this. I think on NT the file is unicode, which makes life slightly more complex, perhaps, depending on what ant does with filtering on unicode files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
