> BUILDING.txt, section 3.2 states:
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> 3.2 Create property file
> You will need to create a property file to specify
> your environment and some of your options. Do the following
> to specify your environment and options:
> (1) Find out user home directory on your system. You can find
> user home directory by doing echo on variable %HOME%
> on windows and $home or $HOME on unix.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> In some cases, %HOME% (on WIndows) or $HOME ($home) (on Unix) does not
> correspond to the directory where ant looks for "ant.properties".
> I recently tried to build Derby on Windows XP, and accidentally put
> ant.properties in the wrong directory, causing ant to say that java.lang
> could not be found. On Windows XP and 2000 (and most likely all older Windows
> platforms as well) "out-of-the-box", there is no environment variable called
> %HOME%. Creating this environment variable manually does not make any
> difference.
> On Unix systems, the $HOME environment variable does not necessarily always
> correspond to ant's (i.e. Java's) interpretation of "user.home". For
> example, if a user changes this variable manually from "/home/username" to
> "/home/username/myHome", $HOME refers to the latter, but ant will continue to
> look for ant.properties in the "/home/username" directory.
