Which version of Java are you using? Oracle's v9 can specify "argument
files" using @path/file on the command-line. It sounds like you want to
specify a file rather than pick up the system default:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/tools/java.htm#JSWOR-GUID-BE93ABDC-999C-4CB5-A88B-1994AAAC74D5

But Justin's answer is good, and you can extend it slightly by specifying a
different user profile to run different Java - as long as each has a
system.properties file in their home folder then you can choose which you
want that way.

Subject: Set java system properties based from properties file instead of
command line?

Folks:

Does anyone know if there is a way to invoke Java code (on the i or not)
so that system properties are loaded from a property file instead of the
command line?

What I want to do is avoid using -Dproperty=value or PROP((property
value)) and just specify a property file that all those system properties
would be specified in.

Thanks!

david

I'm riding 615 miles (Yes, you read that right) in the American Diabetes
Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education,
advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax-deductible donation to my ride

You can see where my donations come from by visiting my interactive

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
