An URL object would fit the bill for this option.

Hmm... I haven't tried this, but URLStreamHandler should do it, though I think
styles do not belong to the lib or classes directories.

I presume this would be the most popular option to specify WKT libraries, but
how
to do it in such a way that could be used with or without Spring and GeoServer ?
AFAIK, Java lets you either load resources using an absolute path or one that
is
relative to the current classloader and you cannot use environment variables.
Come to think of it: why don't detect (and expand) the environment variables in
the URL before loading the properties file ?
This way an absolute path URL may be rendered relative, like:
wktlib://file://${GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR}/styles/mywkt.properties
What do you think ?
