Description

When using an environment variable as a profile activation variable, it doesnt work, using either env.X or ${env.X} doesnt work.
I found the same issue on the forums unresolved.

Basically, the following doesnt work, where FOO is a windows environment variable (like PATH for example) :

 
 <profile>
  <id>haroon-workstation</id>
  <activation>
    <property>
      <name>env.FOO</name>
      <value>foo</value>
    </property>
   </activation>
    .......

 </profile>
