Konrad Windszus commented on MNG-6303:
--------------------------------------

Actually my main use case is to use a project-specific settings.xml which 
should be shared via a source code repository (e.g. Git). It would make sense 
to distribute that also within the {{.mvn}} directory but it is impossible to 
reference such a file correctly, because the absolute path name differs per 
user and relative path names always refer to the {{basename}} but not to the 
{{.mvn}} directory itself. So together with adding support for environment 
variables it would probably make sense to define an environment variable giving 
the location of the resolved {{.mvn}} directory.

> .mvn/jvm.config should allow to resolve environment variables

> With the mechanism of having project-specific maven options being specified 
> in {{.mvn/maven.config}} and {{.mvn/jvm.config}} (MNG-6267) it is often handy 
> to share those settings among multiple developers (i.e. via maintaining it 
> via the SCM). Unfortunately the mechanism does not support resolving 
> environment variables, which makes it hard to deal with user-specific 
> directories or settings. Please support resolving environment variables 
> through a special pattern like {{$ENV_NAME}}
