    Map<String, String> replacements = new HashMap<String, String>() {
        {
            put("env1", "1");
            put("env2", "2");
            put("env3", "3");

        }
    };

    String line = "${env1}sojods${env2}${env3}";

    String rx = "\\$\\{(.*?)\\}";

    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(rx);
    Matcher m = p.matcher(line);

    while (m.find()) {
        // Avoids throwing a NullPointerException in the case that you
        // Don't have a replacement defined in the map for the match
        String repString = replacements.get(m.group(1));
        if (repString != null)
            m.appendReplacement(sb, repString);
    }
    m.appendTail(sb);

    System.out.println(sb.toString());

In the above example we can use map with just key and values --keys can be env1 ,env2 ..
