Thanks for the clarification, I was refering to this

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()

and with all the properties, I thought I could read env vars with
this. Also, I often use ant and pass variable wih it. I suppose ant do
create a new java.util.Properties instance.

Many thanks, cheers,
