    Simple use case (from many more complex uses cases):
    We have in boostrap.properties
    http.port=1234
    https.port=5678
    We need to have a system.property that is
    -Dcombined.ports={http.port}:{https:port}
    and {http.port} is also used in server.xml
    Q: how to we do that without repeating the values of the "http.port" and "https.port"?
    Thanks
    (again this is a simplified use case)

    All the properties in bootstrap.properties are already available as System properties. For example if you have a property in bootstrap.properties 'bootstrap.prop=value' that is valid in server.xml using ${bootstrap.prop} and in an application using System.getProperty("bootstrap.prop"); There is no need to put the property in jvm.options as well.
