That's supposed to be replaced by ant with the directory of
the Java executable.

The installable feature package was created by Jim Wright for our
team. Unfortunately, Jim is the only one in the group who knows the
mechanics of installable features yet; and he's away on vacation until
January 2nd. 

I'm almost certain that I installed a version of the 3rd party jars from
an internal server using M4. I'll try to take a look at the feature
jar that seemed to work for me, and the one on the external website,
and see if there's any difference.
