[jetty-users] How to pass property files not in start.d to start.jar ?

[Tom Zeller <tzeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

According to the documentation [1], it should be possible to pass a
properties file located at an arbitrary path to start.jar, but this
does not seem to be the case :

 > java -jar start.jar app.properties
 Unrecognized argument: "app.properties" in <command-line>

It looks like command line args are not passed in totality from
StartArgs to XmlConfiguration.

Is there a way to source properties for use in <Property /> elements
from a properties file at an arbitrary path (not in start.d) ?

Thanks,
Tom
