I don't know if this is useful for you, but I did utilize one of the
properties I saw when I ran with -debug. If you run your project with the
-debug setting you will see all that gets loaded and set as a part of ant.
The two useful properties for me were:
Setting project property: os.name -> Windows 2000
....
Setting project property: env.OS -> Windows_NT
...
I then used the condition:
<!-- set company.onos400 to true -->
<condition property="company.osrunning" value="onAS400">
<equals arg1="${os.name}" arg2="OS/400"/>
</condition>
to set my os value. I think some of your suggestions will help me design a
better end solution, but for now this works well for me.
Hope this helps....

I don't know, you tell me ;-)
This ANT idiom of loading platform-specific properties is common enough that
a little build-in support for it would be nice... Erik and I both posted it
at the same time, so it *has* to be common enough!
All that would be needed in fact is:
<property file="build-win32.properties"
os="Windows NT, Windows 2000" />
<property file="build-unix.properties"
os="unix1, unix2, whatever" />
but I know, I know <property> is already *so* overloaded. The construct
above would nonetheless support this idiom *so* conveniently. --DD

What would it's value be for Windows 95 (windows, dos, win9x)? For
MacOS X (mac, unix)?
