Hello Felix,

Thanks for the response. Yes, file install supports java properties, but my 
question is that is there any way to set a custom java property with the value 
of a system variable? I've tried specifying it in the system.properties file 
but it did not work. The only way I could get it to work was setting the 
property on the command line when starting up my karaf instance.
