True Antonine.
I clearly understand that using of env is not to be encouraged and ant has a
way to use them with care if one wants.
Infact, our internal Mobile Single Source Build Framework keeps this
principle in very close to keep our self more portable.
However, we still there is a need for access the common boiler plate ant
script or ant properties which should exist on in system folders such
${user.home} or any of the currently exposed ant default properties. It is
just one variable, we need to depend on. Only for such reason, we are doing
a explicit evn property declaration and rest of them are pure ant.
Though it is one line (which is not too bad for us due to limited projects)
for big enterprises with many projects, I was suggesting that why not ant
provide such custom properties though automatic support fetching the
variables though some stand prefix such as evn.xxx etc.
Not sure, if made our point clear to ant developers to see some value of
making by default environment variables available though some standard
prefix, implicitly.
