/**
 * <p>
 * A Configuration implementation that reads the platform specific environment variables using the map returned by
 * {@link System#getenv()}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This configuration implementation is read-only. It allows read access to the defined OS environment variables, but
 * their values cannot be changed. Any attempts to add or remove a property will throw an
 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException}
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Usage of this class is easy: After an instance has been created the get methods provided by the {@code Configuration}
 * interface can be used for querying environment variables, e.g.:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * Configuration envConfig = new EnvironmentConfiguration();
 * System.out.println("JAVA_HOME=" + envConfig.getString("JAVA_HOME");
 * </pre>

 * @since 1.5
