[chef] Re: Re: Run as root or as vagrant user

You've got the environment parameters in the bash script itself.

The environment parameter is a parameter to the EXECUTE and SCRIPT
resources e.g.

bash "script with env vars" do
  environment( "SOME_KEY" => "SOME_VALUE", "ANOTHER_KEY" => "ANOTHER_VALUE" )
  code <<-EOH
echo 'Env dump'
env
echo 'Env dumped'
env SOME_KEY
env ANOTHER_KEY
echo 'specific keys dumped'
EOH
end

As for whether Maven will honor this, I don't know, but it's trivial
to test that Chef can pass environment variables into a new process --
and this definitely does work.

Cheers,

AJ
