Re: [buckminster-dev] Property Expansion for Environment Variables

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I guess we could do it similar to how ant does it. I.e. ${env:someEnv} or perhaps even better, as Eclipse 'variables', 
${env_var:someEnv}. The class where everything happens is name ExpandingProperties.
