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

[Paul Bailey <PabloMotte+Midrange@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
