At the moment, the JUnit Platform properties are loaded from the first (and sole) resource named junit-platform.properties available via the ClassLoader resource-loading facility.

Internally, the JUnit Platform Launcher already supports by-passing this logic by providing an explicit location of a junit-platform.properties file or stream.

Deliverables

• Introduce a new launcher system property, like junit.platform.properties.location, that lets users specify an alternate location of the JUnit Platform properties file to load.
