[jira] Commented: (MNG-3940) Interpolation of environment variables fails on Windows

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

Wendy Smoak commented on MNG-3940:
----------------------------------

Thanks, Benjamin. :)

I was testing this by adding <properties><mypath>${env.PATH}</mypath></properties> to a pom and then running mvn help:effective-pom.

On Linux and OS X, the effective pom shows all the directories in the PATH environment variable.  On Windows, it remains literally ${env.PATH}.

However, ${env.M2_HOME} is expanded on all three OSs, so it's not _all_ environment variables on Windows.

> 00:47  wsmoak  I can't get ${env.PATH} to be evaluated in the pom... but only on Windows. Any ideas?
> 00:47  wsmoak  echo %PATH% produces the right stuff. and it works fine with Maven 2.0.9 on OS X or linux
