Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MTOOLCHAINS-18:
------------------------------------------------

Yes of course, than you can use the entries in {{toolchains.xml}} but why do 
you need the environment variables? That's exactly what toolchains 
solves...maybe you can elaborate more in detail what the problem is and how the 
usage of an environment variable could help here...

> toolchain.xml file should support environment variables

>             Project: Maven Toolchains Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.1
>         Environment: Windows 7 64bit
>            Reporter: Nicolas Radde
>            Priority: Minor

> When the toolchain.xml file is configured as follow :
> {code:xml}
> <toolchain>
>     <type>jdk</type>
>     <provides>
>       <version>1.8</version>
>       <vendor>sun</vendor>
>     </provides>
>     <configuration>
>       <jdkHome>${env.JDK_HOME_8}</jdkHome>
>     </configuration>
> </toolchain>
> {code}
> The execution of a maven compile fail with the following error :
> {noformat}
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-toolchains-plugin:
> 1.1:toolchain (default) on project monitoring-mq-web: Misconfigured 
> toolchains.
> Non-existing JDK home configuration at 
> L:\test-monitoring-mq\${env.JDK_HOME_8} -> [Help 1]
> {noformat}
> While the environment variable *JDK_HOME_8* exist.
> Using environment variable is a very convenient way to have the same 
> toolchain.xml file for all developers or jenkins slaves and would be a nice 
> addition to the plugin.
