And with good reasons. Environment variables work quite differently
on different operating systems. If you really need them, use Runtime.exec()
to get the variables from the shell.

As do files and threads; how foolish of Java to support *them*. An
environment variable abstraction would actually be quite useful.

One thing you can do is run your Java program from a shell script/batch
file/etc. that generates -Dname=value flags for the relevant environment
variables, turning them into system properties.

Yes, we removed support for them in a previous release. Sorry. They'll be back
in J2SE 1.5.0.
