The JDK has a few runtime config files such as font.properties, so we may eventually
want a mechanism like this. Perhaps we should consider generalizing it to extend to
system properties for all applications?

gcj can use -D. You can either compile properties into your executable on the gcj
command line, or use "gij" as a front end to your application and pass a -D argument
there.
