Where does ${x.y.z} get defined for the properties file?

In the project we have many .properties files. Typically they have entries such as

app.sandox.folder=/path/folder

but in other .properties files they have entries such as

app.sandbox.folder=${app.sandbox.folder}

I cannot figure out where ${app.sandbox.folder} is set. Can anyone clarify for me what this is and where or what file the item is declared or how it works?

As you are using Maven, one place to check for these properties is profiles in your pom.xml.

Check for something like 

<app.sandbox.folder> value <app.sandbox.folder/>

or an external properties file which has these properties will be defined in <configuration>.
