For some information, read the JavaDocs for;
java.lang.System.getenv(String)

Note that you could, with a script, turn an environment variable into a
property (eg. pass with -D) fairly easily.


Also take a look at the class;
java.text.SimpleDateFormat
I wonder... it probably wouldn't be too hard to transform the format
pattern... or you may be lucky; somebody may have already implemented a
java.text.DateFormat that is compatible with your format pattern.
