This is a fair concern, but writing out a properties file is a pretty
high-level operation that doesn't seem likely to be used during bootstrap.
Also, I observe that the `doPrivileged` block above uses a lambda. So I think
we're probably ok to use a lambda here. But if you get an inexplicable error at
build time or at startup time, this would be the reason why.
Assuming we're ok with lambdas, it might be easier to use collections instead
of arrays in order to preserve generic types. Unfortunately the map is
`Map<Object, Object>` so we have to do some fancy casting to get the right
type. But then we can use `Map.Entry.comparingByKey()` as the comparator. (Note
that this uses lambda internally.)
Something like this might work:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
var entries = new ArrayList<>(((Map<String,
String>)(Map)map).entrySet());
entries.sort(Map.Entry.comparingByKey());
