John H. Embretsen updated DERBY-620: ------------------------------------ Fix Version: 10.1.2.0 Kathey Marsden wrote on derby-dev earlier today: > - Are there any other fixes that should be included in the 10.1.2 ? In my opinion, this fix may be included in the 10.1.2 release as well as the trunk, if a committer has time to review and commit it in time. > BUILDING.txt section 3.2(1): Instructions for finding user home directory are > not reliable > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-620 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-620 > Project: Derby > Type: Bug > Components: Documentation > Versions: 10.2.0.0, 10.1.2.0 > Environment: Windows/Unix/Linux, JDKs 1.3-1.5 > Reporter: John H.

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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
