The environment variables of the calling shell are not, by default, converted into Ant properties. If you want to access them, you need to 'import' them using something like:

<property environment="e_pref" />

in your buildfile. Once you've done that, you can access them by means of the prefix you just set:

<echo message="NAME=${e_pref.NAME}" />

You can set environment="" - i.e. an empty prefix - but you would still need the dot to access:

<echo message="NAME=${.NAME}" />

Sorted out the issue. Somehow netbeans ant does not access environment variables when run in sudo mode. I didnt find out a solution for that but i settled down with non sudo UI fornetbeans.

Thanx for your valuable time and help.
