Re: Ant 1.2: exec and execOn tasks: List of os names not apparently documented

[Martin Cooper <ma...@tumbleweed.com>]

Hmm, this is strange. I'm running on Windows 98 SE (Second Edition, not
Special Edition, by the way), and Ant tells me it has detected "Windows 95".
This is Ant 1.2 Release running on Sun's JDK 1.2.2.006.
