[Anthill] how to set JAVA_HOME in antscript build.xml

[Naina Dani]

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for the help.
The solution you have suggested seems good, but, I have two different
environments: Solaris and Windows. So, if I hardcode in the build.xml (
executable="${jdk1.4}/bin/javac">), windows will have a problem compiling
the code as it will not find the javac in the hardcoded location. Does
anybody has a workaround for this ?

Thanks and Regards,
Naina.
