Is the precedence of configuration options "correct"?

From this: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Administer+the+Java+Agent

I understand and have verified that system properties are overridden by environment variables. This is exactly the opposite of what I would expect and would like and is different from every other convention I have encountered.

It also makes it hard to do things like setting up a default configuration baked into a docker image and be able to override those settings in a "run.sh" script on the java command line.

Hi Adrian,

I spoke with some staff and they have confirmed with me, "Environment variables have precedence over the system properties."
