Emmanuel Bourg commented on CONFIGURATION-353:
----------------------------------------------
That change is weird. Why does it work only with PropertiesConfiguration? I would have preferred adding a single method taking any configuration, and let the DefaultConfigurationBuilder deal with the source configuration. That looks cleaner to me. Initializing the system properties would look like this:
SystemConfiguration.setSystemProperties(new PropertiesConfiguration("system.properties"));
Alternatively, this could have been solved without modifying SystemConfiguration by using a simple copy:
ConfigurationUtils.copy(new PropertiesConfiguration("system.properties"), new SystemConfiguration());

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-353> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Ralph Goers
> Fix For: 1.6

> SystemConfiguration allows the system properties to be accessed as a configuration and used in a combined configuration. However, no mechanism is available to set system properties from an external file. Such a facility would alleviate having to place a bunch of -D options on the command line.
