             Summary: Make environment variables available for property replacement in configuration
                 Key: ARQ-921
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-921
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Enhancement
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Final
            Reporter: Dan Allen


Copy all the environment variables to the base property "env" in the system property table. Using the base property avoids conflicts with property names. This strategy is typical in build systems.

For example, assume the following environment variable is defined:

{code}
JBOSS_HOME=/opt/jboss-as
{code}

This environment variable can be referenced from the configuration (arquillian.xml) as follows: 

{code}
${env.JBOSS_HOME}
{code}

A system property may be used to override an environment variable, as follows:

{code}
-Denv.JBOSS_HOME=/home/user/opt/jboss-as
{code}
