I had a similar problem:

			<condition property=3D"appdata.dir" value=3D"${env.USERPROFILE}\Applicat=
ion Data\MyProject">
				<os family=3D"windows"  />
			</condition>
			<condition property=3D"appdata.dir" value=3D"${env.HOME}/.myproject">
				<os family=3D"unix"  />
			</condition>

Subject: Need cross platform way of assigning users name to a property

My build.xml starts with the following lines:
=A0
<property environment=3D"env"/>
<property name=3D"user.username.dir" value=3D"user/${env.USERNAME}"/>
<import file=3D"${user.username.dir}/build.local.xml" optional=3D"true"/>
=A0
This=A0imports a build.local.xml file that holds machine-specific propertie=
s for each developer.
=A0
The problem is that this does not work on UNIX because the username is in e=
nv.USER in unix.=A0 I need a cross-platform way to assign a user.name prope=
rty in Ant.=A0=20
=A0
This has to be done at the top of the build.xml so that the <import ... /> =
is done before any other property assignments (the properties in build.loca=
l.xml=A0are used if build.local.xml exists).=A0 This means that=A0the user.=
name property can't be assigned=A0in a target so the condition statement is=
 useless here.
=A0
Is there some way that I can=A0read the username from the environment in a =
cross-platform way given that it has to happen at the top of the script?
=A0
