Resolve system properties/environment variables while browsing the application.properties values

[fbricon]

Originally reported as redhat-developer/intellij-quarkus#1331

It would be nice if the current System properties (eg. user.name) is resolved while browsing the application.properties values:

it is supported in MP Config according to @gastaldi

*_KEY, *_SECRET and *_PASSWORD should be obfuscated.

I initially started looking at an IJ implem in fbricon/intellij-quarkus@a22b996 (validation and completion still didn't work), but this should better be done at the language server level directly.

@gastaldi once https://github.com/redhat-developer/intellij-quarkus/actions/runs/10422663550 will be finished, please install https://github.com/redhat-developer/intellij-quarkus?tab=readme-ov-file#testing-nightly-builds to enjoy with this feature.

@angelozerr works beautifully in apps using application.properties, good job!

But I noticed that it doesn't work when using application.yaml, is that intended?

Thanks!

I have not worked on that.I dont know if it will be easy to implement it.

The YAML support is managed with a JSON Schema (we generate a JSON Schema with all available properties like mp, quarkus, etc and we associate it to the yaml editor). It means that we don't manage any completion, validation, hover, etc, we let the Editor/IDE (vscode, IJ, Eclipse IDE) supporting completion, validation...

It avoids for us to implement a fault tolerant parser for YAML which is a very hard task. As we don't manage custom YAML completion, validation, hover, when you write property expression with {} in yaml value, we cannot add custom behavior, so it is impossible to managecompletion, hover, etc for property expression in yaml file (and System/Env properties).

The only th=hing that we can do is to support System/Env as yaml key, but I'm not sure that it is interesting, right?

Thanks for investigating!

Right, I believe they are mostly used as YAML values
