Ant devs need help from users with "exotic" OSes
Hi all,
we are considering to change the code that reads environment variables
inside of Ant from the current "fork a platform specific executable"
approach System.getenv() when running on Java5+. This change may result
in different results and so we need your help in order to determine what
kind of differences we may encounter.
We already know that System.getenv() returns two or three additional
environment variables on Windows while we seem to get the same results
on various flavors of Linux, as well as Solaris and Mac OS X using
different versions of Java.
<http://people.apache.org/~bodewig/ant-env.zip> contains a simple
command line Java tool (requires Java5+) that we'd ask anybody with
access to an operating system not listed above to execute (java -jar
ant-env.jar). If it reports any differences, please let us know via
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49366> (if it isn't
already there, that is).
In particular we'd love to hear from people running z/OS or OpenVMS.
Many thanks
Stefan

Yes, these are two of up to three variables known to come back
additionally on Windows.
Thanks

I did not execute the .jar. Instead I noticed the bin folder and ran the
.bat file. That is why I asked for instructions to run the test. Danke.
(And now i see that you did provide that information. I did not read it
carefully enough.)
When the .jar was run the following output was seen:
Detected OS_NAME: windows xp
Detected OS_ARCH: x86
Detected OS_VERSION: 5.1
Detected Java Version: 1.6.0_18
Detected Java Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Detected Java VM Version: 16.0-b13
Detected Java VM Name: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Only in 1.8.2: =::=::\
Only in 1.8.2: =C:=C:\Documents and Settings\gopdyck\My
Documents\Downloads\ant-env

No, it is supposed to be just the -jar. You can throw in an additional
-v after the jar name to see all environment variables but that
shouldn't be needed.

No output at all?
This is what it should look like

Were there instructions for running the test?
