Beanstalk Java platform with parameters

I'm using the Java platform in a Beanstalk application and I'm trying to read an environment property and pass as a java system parameter:

My Procfile inside the zip bundle says: 

web: java $JAVA_OPTS -jar app.jar

The defined "Environment Properties"

JAVAOPTS -> -DXyz=123

But during launch, I see in the logs: 

Error: Could not find or load main class $JAVA_OPTS

Is it possible to pass variables to the java process in such way?

For some reason, the Procfile wont't allow parameters to be passed that way. My work around war, calling a shell script that passes the parameters:

Procfile

web: sh ./run.sh

./run.sh

#!/bin/bash
java $JAVA_OPTS -jar application.jar $JAVA_ARGS

That allow parameters to be se in the Environment Variables of beanstalk configuration console.
