[riena-dev] Usage of Java system properties within Riena

[Stefan Liebig <Stefan.Liebig@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to start a discussion about the usage of Java system 
properties. I tried to collect all the system properties that are 
currently used within Riena. And I must admit that I was not aware of 
that many system properties we have.
My effort is documented here: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Riena_System_Properties#Riena_System_Properties

Thoughts that come into my mind:
- are system properties the "right" way?
- if we have them they should follow some pattern and should be documented
- are their alternatives?
- what are your experiences?
