Hi,
it`s a good idea to handle this woproject/wolips internally . This also
means that some stuff in wolips should move into woproject to keep it
under one interface.
If we replace ${user.home}/Library with NEXT_HOME_ROOT we get a
circular reference. NEXT_ROOT is stored in the file
WOBuild.properties. To find the file under NEXT_HOME_ROOT we need to
resolve NEXT_ROOT..........
But we need a place to store the NEXT_ROOT. The lookup in the
environment takes a long time and pop ups a window under windows.(May
be that is the reason why it's called windows.) :-)
