Based on this information http://maven.apache.org/settings.html

I thought that variables and variable expansion would be available anywhere in
a POM _and_ settings files?
Is this not the case - is it only pom xml that does expansion?
<quot>
They come in five different styles, _all accessible from the settings.xml_
</quot>
Currently my settings.xml has:
<settings xmlns=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

But help:effective-settings shows the ${environment} isn't expanding.

Am I doing something incorrectly?
