I had a similar problem:
<condition property="appdata.dir"
value="${env.USERPROFILE}\Application Data\MyProject">
<os family="windows" />
</condition>
<condition property="appdata.dir"
value="${env.HOME}/.myproject">
<os family="unix" />
</condition>

Subject: Need cross platform way of assigning users name to a property
My build.xml starts with the following lines:
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="user.username.dir" value="user/${env.USERNAME}"/>
<import file="${user.username.dir}/build.local.xml" optional="true"/>
This imports a build.local.xml file that holds machine-specific properties for
each developer.
The problem is that this does not work on UNIX because the username is in
env.USER in unix. I need a cross-platform way to assign a user.name property
in Ant.
This has to be done at the top of the build.xml so that the <import ... /> is
done before any other property assignments (the properties in
build.local.xml are used if build.local.xml exists). This means that the
user.name property can't be assigned in a target so the condition statement is
useless here.
Is there some way that I can read the username from the environment in a
cross-platform way given that it has to happen at the top of the script?
