From NovaOrdis Knowledge Base
Internal
Overview
Maven is able to access environment variables in its configuration files by specifying the environment variable using the following format:
${env.SOME_VARIABLE}
Example of specifying a local filesystem repository:
<repository>
<id>jboss-eap-repository-6.4.0</id>
<url>file://${env.RUNTIME_DIR}/jboss-eap-6.4.0.GA-maven-repository</url>
</repository>
Environment variables specified as such will be de-referenced in pom.xml and settings.xml.
