java getenv(),Java System.getEnv（）

In mac OSX and in Linux CentOS, I insert a new system environment variable (i.e. "MYAPP") using .bashrc & .bash_profile. I even restarted my laptop (mac) and my server (linux).

When I use the command line "env", that environment variable showed with the correct value. But somehow every time I try to get it in a Java app (desktop app or web app or EJB or servlet any other java app) in either mac or linux, that environment variable ("MYAPP") is not retrieved.

I tried to iterate through the entire environment variables that Java can retrieve and it turns out that it retrieves every environment variables other than "MYAPP". This is very odd.

Anyone know how to solve this?

After having defined and exported the environment variable. Launch your IDE from the same Terminal.
