How to use environment variables in eclipse.ini? [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to use environment variables like %JAVA_HOME% within eclipse.ini?

I'd like to include the following without having to hardcode the absolute path to jdk:

-vm
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe

But that's not working and eclipse complains about missing jdk.

By the way: cmd echo %JAVA_HOME% shows the correct path.

Answer 1

It is not possible. There is already a bug opened for this.
