Description

It would be nice if Include files were subject to the same variable interpolation as regular properties.

e.g. it should be possible to do
include=${sys:myfilename}

I think it is simply a matter of changing the call in to loadIncludeFile() PropertiesConfiguration.propertyLoaded() from:

loadIncludeFile(files[i].trim());

to:

loadIncludeFile(interpolate(files[i].trim()));

I am happy to submit a patch.
