A B commented on LOG4J2-747: ---------------------------- I have good news! I first tried using the ${sys:variable} as Remko suggested. That worked. So I started thinking for reasons why env: wouldn't work and I finally got ${env:variable} to work as wel.. What had happend was that after creating the variable, I knew I had to restart the process ( not necessarily re-boot the machine in Windows 7 ). So, I was doing a "restart" on my workspace. After a few attempts, I tried to display the environment variables. My variable did not show up. So, I exited the workspace and opened it again. This time my variable also showed up and the ${env:variable} for my log4j also worked. I guess, there is a difference in "restart" workspace from Eclipse vs. close and open it.
