All Implemented Interfaces:
RevisionHandler

public class Environment
extends Object
implements RevisionHandler

This class encapsulates a map of all environment and java system properties. There are methods for adding and removing variables to this Environment object as well as to the system wide global environment. There is also a method for replacing key names (enclosed by ${}) with their associated value in Strings.
