Ok,
Can I execute a os command and get the result into a property? cause
hostname would be an ideal solution as on NT is returns a lower case
hostname.
Thanks

and the plot thickens..
I've taken the assumption that the hostname will be in an environment
variable. Now for the good bit, on NT this gives the hostname in uppercase
and when used in a p4 clientworkspace, p4 complains that I'm not running
from that host.
I may come to like p4 but at the moment I'm finding it a complete and utter
plain. ;-)

The 'ant' and 'ant.bat' scripts allows or an "rc" file to be read in, if
one exists in the user's home dir, so you could have the host name
determined and set in the rc file (eg., "export HOST=`hostname`"), then
pass that value on the "$JAVACMD ..." line, or use the new "env"
functionality of <property> and access the value that way.
