RH Becker commented on MNG-7158:
--------------------------------
As it turns out, I'm stupid and this is a false alarm.
Interpolation of environment variables actually _*DOES WORK*_ here if you
actually, you know, export a value as an environment variable rather than just
setting a session variable ...
{code:bash}
export REPO_URI=example #good
REPO_URI=example #bad
{code}
So sorry for wasting your time. *Please feel free to close or delete* ... Or if
my mistake serendipitously led you to discover some other issue, convert the
purpose of this issue to cover that.
> support environment variable interpolation in alt*DeploymentRepository
> properties

> Key: MNG-7158
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7158
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 3.8.1
> Reporter: RH Becker
> Priority: Minor
>
> In *settings.xml*, I'm trying to do something like ...
> {code:xml}
> <profile>
> <id>distribution</id>
> <activation>
> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
> </activation>
> <properties>
>
> <altDeploymentRepository>my-repo::default::${env.REPO_URI}</altDeploymentRepository>
> </properties>
> </profile>
> {code}
> If I replace {{$\{env.REPO_URI}}} with a literal value, it works.
> I thought maybe I was hitting some general limitation where interpolation
> isn't supported for profile properties, but the [example
> here|https://maven.apache.org/settings.html#properties] makes it seem as
> though they are supported; i.e. this bit ...
> {code:xml}
> <properties>
> <user.install>${user.home}/our-project</user.install>
> </properties>
> {code}
> Is this something that could be supported for alt*DeploymentRepository
> properties?
