Hi guys,

I've been scratching my head and trying to find documentation on how to do this.

Basically, I have a standalone, executable JAR which contains a reference.conf in its src/main/resource folder.

I want to be able to pass in an application.conf that is external to this JAR and overrides the resource.conf.

Here's some examples of how I think I should be doing it:

$ ls
standalone.jar    application.conf

$ java -cp standalone.jar com.standalone.Main
Option 1. Running com.standalone.Main with reference.conf included inside the JAR.

$ java -cp standalone.jar:application.conf com.standalone.Main
Option 2. Running com.standalone.Main with application.conf inside the classpath

$ java -cp standalone.jar com.standalone.Main application.conf
Option 3. Running com.standalone.Main with application.conf passed in through command-line arguments

It would be great if you can help me with this, or provide documentation on how to do this, since this seems like something a lot of people might want to do?

Thanks in advance!
