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());

> 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.
