This PR & CSR are aimed at extending the existing functionality of `java.security.properties` with permanent configuration and the option of multiple files, while also allowing these configuration snippets to be maintained separately outside a single JDK. What you seem to be suggesting involves adding a meta-property to the property file to instruct it to be replaced with another file and would require multiple such instructions for each file. One of the benefits of this proposal is the directory can be setup once in the `java.security` file and then future maintenance can take place on the referenced directory for all JDKs. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14277#issuecomment-1698259042
