Unfortunately, > Java deprecated access to environment variables... Deprecated? Well, it's a bit confusing: in 1.4.2 indeed they are. I don't get that impression when browsing through the 1.5 API docs though... System.getenv($varname) is a non-deprecated method call (and in 1.5 Sun has even added a variant without parameter, which returns a generic String-String Map containing all defined environment vars). One can only wonder what their intention was... Anyway, it seems Mikael can use System.getenv(...) without concern.
