Feature request - loading property files from GUI

**Krzysieq** ([Bug 45267](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=45267&redirect=false)):
Not sure this is the right place to report such issue, as it is not really a bug, although in my project we tend to think of it this way...

It would be really nice, if it was possible to load a bunch of properties from a file after the application is started. It is a real pain in the neck to switch the app on and off just because we need to test another machine or environment.

The way I would see this handled would be to add to the "User Defined Variables" configuration element a possibility to feed it from a file, as well as delete and sort the variables listed there.

The other possible solution is to be able to switch, also during runtime, the file that is loaded as user.properties. But I imagine this would be more difficult.
