Emmanuel Bourg commented on CONFIGURATION-353:
----------------------------------------------

Actually I would remove completely the static methods (or keep a generic setSystemProperties(Configuration) method in SystemConfiguration for the convenience).

In DefaultConfigurationBuilder, instead of declaring a 'systemProperties' attribute on the root configuration element, I would probably implement an "init" attribute on the system element. So initializing the system properties would look like this :

{code:xml}
<configuration>
  <system init="system.properties"/>
</configuration>
{code}

> 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.
