It's all explained in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#Declaring_and_Using_Variables

Cheers

Maybe I don't understand/find the part with the system variables. I tried to use System.getenv("HOMEDIR"), like this:

<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:VariableTask"
name="HOMESRC"
value="System.getenv(&quot;HOMESRC&quot;)"
label="HOME SRC"/>
<stream name="master">

Also I tried to use just $HOMESRC, but they are not interpreted. Is it the right task and semantic?

You don't need to decalre a VariableTask for variables that are already declared in your system environment. Just refer
to it via ${HOMESRC} wherever in your setup model you want to use it.

Is there a chance to have an environment variable unresolved during installation process?
I tried to create a file which should contain an environment variable like ${HOME}, but I need the newly created file to contain ${HOME} instead of "/home/me".
During the installation process the environment variable gets replaced by its value and thus the created file has an incorrect content. Is is possible to avoid the replacement?
The environment variable I need will be set dynamically by another tool, but it might be set to and old value at the time of the installation.

The same link as provided above by Eike contains the following:
Quote:
To prevent a variable reference from being expanded (e.g. you actually want to have the value '${var}' and not the value of "var"), you need to escape the variable syntax with an extra double dollar character. So "$${var}" will result in "${var}".
