Build #513
JDK 1.3.1
NT 4.0

Note that on the DOS box command line I can do this:


>java -D"myEnvironmentVariable=%SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE%"  myTest

and in myTest, I can do the following:

String envVariable   = System.getProperty("myEnvironmentVariable");

now envVariable will be equal to the NT value of SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE

However, in IntelliJ, if I set my VM Parameters to 

-D"myEnvironmentVariable=%SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE%"  

and start myTest from inside IntelliJ, 

envVariable will simply be the string:  %SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE%

rather than the value of the environment variable itself.
