in which file? in velocity.properties?

are you deploying to a servlet container?  if so, then the
FileResourceLoader is not your friend.  you should be using the
WebappLoader (aka WebappResourceLoader) that is part of the
VelocityTools project.  It uses servlet context relative paths.

sounds like a useful thing to me!

i don't think it would be all that hard to add support for including
environmental variables in the properties.  you would pretty much just
watch for properties either coming in or going out of RuntimeInstance
for environment variables and do the replacement there.  It would
probably be easiest to do this in RuntimeInstance#getProperty.
