In Gradle, is there a better way to get Environment Variables?

Question

In several Tasks, I reference jars in my home folder.

Is there a better way to get Environment Variables than

ENV = System.getenv()
HOME = ENV[\'HOME         


        

Answer 1

I couldn't get the form suggested by @thoredge to work in Gradle 1.11, but this works for me:

home = System.getenv('HOME')

It helps to keep in mind that anything that works in pure Java will work in Gradle too.
