Hi all,

I am a bit confused when to use the internal SystemProperties.getProperty()
method over the normal System.getProperty() method.

Until now I thought SystemProperties.getProperty() is to be used inside the
internal gnu.* namespace as it should be save here to call without the security
manager enforced. However there is also a lot of usage of the normal
System.getProperty() method.

For example gnu.java.net.protocol.file.Connection uses
SystemProperties.getProperty() to get the line.separator whereas
gnu.java.io.PlatformHelper uses System.getProperty().

Clarifications are welcome :-)

Thanks,
Wolfgang
