The Implementation of ServerEnvironment is problematic because there is plenty of functionality that is available in the impl. class but not in the interface.  Therefore the impl class is used everywhere instead of the interface.

Here's how you get at any such well-known properties:

ServerEnvironmentImpl.getProps().get(SystemPropertyConstants.INSTALL_ROOT_PROPERTY);

You could also just do System.getProperty(...) -- it is guaranteed to be there and correct -- if you used Launcher to startup the server.  It is frowned upon though...

Please don't do this.

NetBeans plugin does not use the launcher to start the server.  Nor is the launcher used if the user just invokes "java -jar ..." as mentioned in several existing blogs.

Or make a list of all such required properties and send to me so I can ensure they are there.  At least that'll solve half of it.

Why does ServerEnvironment not have an API t to provide the install_dir location? This information is available in asenv.conf file as the value of AS_INSTALL property.

Thanks,
