Description

If you use <job-xml> to include a file that includes an EL variable, it doesn't get resolved.

For example:

foo.xml

<configuration>
   <property>
      <name>some.property</name>
      <value>${someVariable}</value>
   </property>
</configuration>

job.propertiesl

...
someVariable=bar

Then in the submitted job, some.property will be equal to "${someVariable}" when we would like it to be "bar".
