When writing new code (or modifying existing code) you should almost always use SystemProperties.getProperty(). Unless that would be a clear security risk and/or it is documented that the method does a security check on the property. The reason there is still a lot of code that uses System.getProperty() is either historical (i.e. SystemProperties was introduced after that code was written) or because the author was unaware of SystemProperties. We've not been as careful about this as we maybe should be. Regards, Jeroen
