Can you use environment variables in arquillian.xml ?

I would like to overide JBOSS_HOME, my problem is that I dont want have to specify an system path as this could change between systems.

Is it possible to set say <jbossHome>${env.JBOSS_HOME_6}</jbossHome>, picking up the enviroment var JBOSS_HOME_6.

I could then use the same arquillian.xml for different versions of Jboss and just use different env vars JBOSS_HOME_5, JBOSS_HOME_6, JBOSS_HOME_X_SNAP etc

I would then define these of the local machines and my hudson would just work seamlessly

Any thoughts welcome

Thanks

I do exactly that in one of the examples for the JSFUnit project.  I just use Maven filtering.

Actually I don't do that exactly.  I set a profile in my global settings.xml for each path.  But the effect is the same.

Thats exactly what I need, thanks very much.

I'm quite new to maven and had never came across filtering.  It looks VERY useful

Thanks again
