You can use Java system properties with the ${property} syntax. There are number of system properties that are defined by default including

"os.arch"     Operating system architecture
"os.name"     Operating system name
"os.version"  Operating system version

For a full list of default properties see API of System or list them with System.getProperties().list(System.out).

If the default properties won't do then you'll have top add your own properties using System.setProperty(property, value).
