AccuRevTckUtil.getSystemProperty

[Chris Graham]

>From AccuRevTckUtil.java:

    public String getSystemProperty( String name, String defaultValue )
    {
        String mavenProperty = "${" + name + "}";
        String result = System.getProperty( name, mavenProperty );
        if ( mavenProperty.equals( result ) )
        {
            result = defaultValue;
        }
        return result;
    }


Have I missed something here?

Why is it not just System.getProperty( name, defaultValue ) ?

Or is there something more going on in the way that maven deals with it's
and system properties?
