Description

When the toolchain.xml file is configured as follow :

<toolchain>
    <type>jdk</type>
    <provides>
      <version>1.8</version>
      <vendor>sun</vendor>
    </provides>
    <configuration>
	<jdkHome>${env.JDK_HOME_8}</jdkHome>
    </configuration>
</toolchain>

The execution of a maven compile fail with the following error :

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-toolchains-plugin:
1.1:toolchain (default) on project monitoring-mq-web: Misconfigured toolchains.
Non-existing JDK home configuration at L:\test-monitoring-mq\${env.JDK_HOME_8} -> [Help 1]

While the environment variable JDK_HOME_8 exist.

Using environment variable is a very convenient way to have the same toolchain.xml file for all developers or jenkins slaves and would be a nice addition to the plugin.
