+Apache Karaf will look for system property as well. For instance, the
following:
+
+----
+key=${foo}
+----
+
+means that `key` will contain `bar` if you start Karaf with `-Dfoo=bar`.
+
Environment variables can be referenced inside configuration files using the
syntax `${env:<name>}` (e.g.
`property=${env:FOO}` will set "property" to the value of the enviroment
variable "FOO"). Default and alternate
values can be defined for them as well using the same syntax as above.
