In this case: yes. It's not so much JAVA_HOME, but the property
'java.home', and the structure behind this property, on which ant
relies.
I've modified my Proposal to fit this need.
The reason, why I left $JAVA_HOME in there is, so that it is mentioned
in the doc of a app, which uses it. I will make the same requirement
for CLASSPATH.
