## Class Environment

- java.lang.Object
- - weka.core.Environment

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    RevisionHandler

      public class Environment
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements RevisionHandler

  This class encapsulates a map of all environment and java system properties. There are methods for adding and removing variables to this Environment object as well as to the system wide global environment. There is also a method for replacing key names (enclosed by ${}) with their associated value in Strings.
