<property environment="env" />
<property name="env.PROJECT_HOME" value="c:\project"/>
<property name="project.home" value="env.PROJECT_HOME"/>
because of property immutability, if it gets set with the environment (1st
line above) then it won't get set with the 2nd line. The 3rd line just puts
it into a cleaner name - although you could stick with env.PROJECT_HOME
instead of project.home.
Ain't that better?! :)
