properties file syntax

what does
${sys:user.name} 
or 
${env:user.name}
in a properties file mean? how is the default value for user.name set?

it
 looks like a shell variable substitution, but my reading of the man 
page indicates the syntax to be ":+" or ":-" so i got confused.

thanks-

${sys:user.name} will pull from the Java system properties. ${env:user.name}
will pull from an environment variable named "user.name".
