How to read environment variable set by envinject in Java?

I am running a Jenkins instance hosted by Cloudbees. I installed the Jenkins EnvInject plugin and I added a Pre-Build step. I added a variable under "Properties Content":

CERT_HOME=/private/{my-domain-name}/dev

The CERT_HOME path and actual certificates are under the WebDAV directory that Cloudbees provides.

In a JUnit test, I try to access the environment variable like this:

private static final String CERT_HOME = System.getenv("CERT_HOME");

However, it returns null.

Under the build, I do see the environment variable:

CERT_HOME=/private/{my-domain-name}/dev

How do I read an environment variable in my JUnit test that I set using the EnvInject plugin?

Maven surefire tries to give you a clean environment within the forked process, have a look at using environmentVariables with ${env.CERT_HOME} to try passing it through
