Description

Command line tool that can convert an openejb conf file into a properties file.

Anything in the openejb.conf file can already be configured via:

-D<id>.<property-name>=<property-value>

Where id is the value in the config file for example:

<Connector id="mysql">
    JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://localhost/test
    UserName test
</Connector>

Could be overridden as follows via system properties:

-Dmysql.JdbcDriver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
-Dmysql.JdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test
-Dmysql.UserName=test

We should write a simple tool to spit out all the properties for your conf so you have an even easier time overriding things.
