Could you please tell me what would be better :

- copy/paste code from ANT to avoid a new dependency just for some methods
- use the ant code as a new (optional) dependency

Nico.

I would prefer not to add an additional dependency. If we talk about one or two classes, simply copying them seems to be alright. Or are there more classes involved?

Looking at

procEnvironment()

Netware, os/2, z/os, unixes and windows are supported. OpenVMS and
MacOS <= 9 seems to be unsupported platforms. MacOS <=9 has no
environment variable at all !
Huh?
OpenVMS does seem to be supported - by parsing the output of "Show logical".

This method also has been "un deprecated" on Java 5 and can be used on
such a runtime. We can invoke it if System.getProprty("java.version")
returns > 1.5.

My idea was simply to copy/paste code from the ant Property class.
AFAIK this one has been largely tested and works on many (if not all
?) platforms.

Hello,

Did anyone allready ask for support in commons-configuration to acces
environement variables, the same way it is available with ant
<property> ?

I'll need it and can contribute for this.

Nico.

There is an enhancement ticket about this topic [1] with a longer
discussion. There was also a thread on the mailing list at this time.

How would you implement access to OS environment variables in a portable
way?
