Quick question wrt JAVA_HOME
I was writing up a section for the <sound> task for index.html (since I've
made changes to it, and since it doesn't have one yet), and of course
(being the editor-type that I am), couldn't resist reading through the doc
and correcting/cleaning up things a bit. So the question is: Is JAVA_HOME
used/needed by anything other than <javac>? I don't set it in my Ant
environment, and never have, so I assume the answer is "no" -- but I
wanted to double-check that before I added "(Optionally)" to it in the
list of things you need to do to run Ant.
Thanks,
Diane

JAVA_HOME can go away with a bit of pre setup like the code in AntEater was
showing. By the time we get to 2.0, I hope to make setting JAVA_HOME go the
way of the dodo bird.

JAVA_HOME is required for some of the other jdk tools too I believe.
However some of them use command line interface instead ;)
Cheers,
