Research direction
Investigate how Infer intercepts Maven's property loading. The error suggests that the ${env} variable is not being resolved when Infer runs Maven. Look at Infer's Maven integration code (likely in OCaml or Java) to see how it handles environment variables. Check if the issue has been resolved in later versions of Infer, as the issue is from 2019 and may be fixed. Consider testing with a minimal Maven project that uses property files with environment variables.
