[jira] Commented: (MNG-2848) Environment variables in profile activation not working

["k (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

k commented on MNG-2848:
------------------------

Has there been any resolution to this issue?  I am currently also trying to access environment variables from within <profile> (be it within profiles.xml and pom.xml) with no success.  Outside of <profile>, I can access environment variables just fine, but within <profile>, using the environment variable as an activation property, does not seem to work.

I've been unsuccessful trying to access the variable using the following methods within <profile>:
env.FOO
FOO
${env.FOO}
${FOO}

Any information reguarding this issue would be greatly appreciated... especially since this has been an issue for well over a year now (referring to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2276 ).  

Defining the variable via the commandline interface does work however, as stated in the link above.

> Basically, the following doesnt work, where FOO is a windows environment variable (like PATH for example) :
> {code:xml} 
>  <profile>
>   <id>haroon-workstation</id>
>   <activation>
>     <property>
>       <name>env.FOO</name>
>       <value>foo</value>
>     </property>
>    </activation>
>     .......
>  </profile> 
> {code}
