it seems our parser "state machine" switches over to assuming a property expression substitution upon seeing a single '$' character, looking for something like:
prop2=${prop1}
It seems we might need to rework it to look for "${" before assuming a property expression substitution.
That is more complicated parsing, but will stop there having identified the problem.
In https://github.com/OpenLiberty/liberty-tools-eclipse/issues/501, with LSP4MP v0.10.0, we see a validation error with a microprofile-config.properties property:
Looking at the code: https://github.com/eclipse/lsp4mp/blob/302b7a12737de3180eb6d0cf009e8c6a7323ad99/microprofile.ls/org.eclipse.lsp4mp.ls/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lsp4mp/model/parser/PropertiesParser.java#L173-L189
