build.properties question: how get environment variable values?

["Mark D. Hansen" <kh...@yahoo.com>]

I've got this in my build.properties (running in linux):

was.home=$WAS_HOME

It does not give the desired result.  Instead of setting was.home to 'opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer', it sets was.home to '$WAS_HOME'.

How do I get the value of a shell environment variable inside of maven?

Thanks!

Ant has a way to retrieve them, which you could do in maven.xml, but
I'd suggest avoiding the need wherever possible.

Cheers,
