Good idea. There is also a (probably also incomplete) list of properties
at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcj/System-properties.html
Maybe you could start with that (see gcj.texi in the gcc sources)?

Yeah, this is a good idea.  It seems like something worth automating;
either automating the extraction like javadoc, or at least automated
checking so that we don't have documentation regressions.

The Jessie library uses a bunch of Security properties to control its  
run-time behavior; these are documented in the Jessie manual, but  
should be put into Classpath's documentation now.


GNU Crypto also uses a few properties, but in their own file. These  
should also be documented, or maybe deprecated in favor of System or  
Security properties.

Hi all,

thanks for the input and the infos where to look for properties.

I will put all the properties together and post them for review.
Don't know exactly when I find time but I hereby assign this task to me :-)

 Currently this information about our properties (for swing, 
 graphics2D,
 rmi, corba) are spread over all parts of the NEWS file.
