Some more interesting examples:
xyz${myvar2} => xyznull
${myvar2}xyz => ${myvar2}xyz
xyz${myavr2}xyz => xyz${mvar2}xyz
so as long as I add something after, I can get it to not interpolate like I want
So this is really ridiculous, but I've come up with something that works:
-Dmyvar1=c:\test\${myvar2}\..\${myvar2}
