title: How to use environment variables in eclipse.ini?
body: <p>Is it possible to use environment variables like <code>%JAVA_HOME%</code> within  <code>eclipse.ini</code>?</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to include the following without having to hardcode the absolute path to jdk:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-vm
  %JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that's not working and eclipse complains about missing jdk.</p>
  
  <p>By the way: cmd <code>echo %JAVA_HOME%</code> shows the correct path.</p>
