Just as a small tweak to this. What I tend to do is
to allow both forms of args. I args-parsing codeh
takes a string _either_ of the form
name1=arg1,name2=arg2,name3=arg3...
or
@name
If it encounters the first form it creates a Properties
object and "put"s the names and values.
If it encounters the second form, it loads the Properties
from the specified file or URL.
For me this helps because simple stuff which doesn't need
much configuring (or where the configs hardly ever change)
can be done in line, but more complex or frequently
changing cases can have a properties file.
Just a suggestion,
