    021 * <p>
    022 * A specialized lookup implementation that allows access to environment
    023 * variables.
    024 * </p>
    025 * <p>
    026 * This implementation relies on {@link System#getenv()} to resolve
    027 * environment variables. It can be used for referencing environment variables
    028 * in configuration files in an easy way, for instance:
    029 * </p>
    030 *
    031 * <pre>
    032 * java.home = ${env:JAVA_HOME}
    033 * </pre>
    034 *
    035 * <p>
    036 * {@code EnvironmentLookup} is one of the standard lookups that is
    037 * registered per default for each configuration.
    038 * </p>
    039 *
    040 * @since 1.7
    041 * @deprecated Use {@link DefaultLookups#ENVIRONMENT}.
