Class EnvarBasedValueSource

java.lang.Object
  org.codehaus.plexus.interpolation.EnvarBasedValueSource

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueSource

public class EnvarBasedValueSource

extends java.lang.Object

implements ValueSource

ValueSource which resolves expressions against the environment variables available from the underlying operating system (and possibly, the shell environment that created the present Java process). If the expression starts with 'env.', this prefix is trimmed before resolving the rest as an environment variable name.

                      throws java.io.IOException

Create a new value source for interpolation based on shell environment variables.

Parameters:

caseSensitive - Whether the environment variable key should be treated in a case-sensitive manner for lookups

Throws:

java.io.IOException
