[MNG-4136] Regression: Environment Variables With Parenthesis Can't Be Referenced in POM

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Incomplete
• Affects Version/s: 2.1.0
• Environment: Windows XP Professional (64-bit)

Description

It looks like Maven can longer use environment variables with parenthesis e.g. ProgramFiles(x86). The attached pom.xml emits the following with Maven 2.1.0:

ProgramFiles(x86) = ${env.ProgramFiles(x86)}

With Maven 2.0.10 we correctly get the following:

ProgramFiles(x86) = C:\Program Files (x86)

This is a pain since ProgramFiles(x86) is standard environment variable on 64-bit Windows.
