Property to property in command line?
I need to set an already set property at the command line to a new property.
Is it possible to do something iike:
java -Dmy.prop=user.dir MyApp
I can't set it up within java code because this property is used before by a 3rd party application.
I've tried
java -Dmy.prop=${user.dir} MyApp
but my.prop
gets the value ${user.dir}

As stated no.
If you are setting the property yourself then you can just pass it in twice.

Why is that a problem?
Until classes are accessed the VM doesn't load them. So as long as you don't access any of those classes before you set a property in code that isn't a problem.
