problem while using enviroment attributes

hi

thx for answering my question

I was wondering how to judge whether a enviroment attribute is set or not, I tried the <condition> task, but I can't find a proper nested element to do the right work. for example I 've tried:

<property enviroment="env"/>
<property name="java.enviroment" value="${env.JAVA_HOME}"/>
<condition property="java.enviroment.isset">
    <and>
    <isset property="java.enviroment"/>
    </and>
</condition>

but the property "java.enviroment" will be set no matter the JAVA_HOME is set or not. If set ,it will be the correct path to java-home-dir. but if not ,then it will be string "${env.JAVA_HOME}" and the condition property "java.enviroment.isset" will also be "true".

I also tried <istrue> <available> but none of them seem to work, plz help thx a lot!

Posted by Ja...@rzf.fin-nrw.de.
This works for me:

<project>
  <property environment="env"/>
  <condition property="isset">
    <isset property="env.JAVA_HOME"/>
  </condition>

  <echo>
    isset: ${isset}
    JAVA_HOME: ${env.JAVA_HOME}
  </echo>
</project>


But beware of case sensitivy of the env variable: JAVA_HOME != java_home
