SystemDefault.properties file

The SystemDefault.properties file is a standard Java™ properties file that enables you to specify default properties of your Java environment.

The SystemDefault.properties file that resides in your home directory takes priority over the SystemDefault.properties file that resides in the /QIBM/UserData/Java400 directory.

Properties that you set in the /YourUserHome/SystemDefault.properties file affect only the following specific Java virtual machines:

JVMs that you start without specifying a different user.home property
JVMs that others users start by specifying the property user.home = /YourUserHome/

Example: SystemDefault.properties file

The following example sets several Java properties:

     #Comments start with pound sign
     #Use J2SDK 1.4
     java.version=1.4
     #This sets a special property
     myown.propname=6
