Description Sahoo CLA 2010-07-21 00:44:06 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.5.1.R35x_v20090827

Javadoc of BundleContext.getProperty() says the following:
Returns the value of the specified property. If the key is not found in the
Framework properties, the system properties are then searched. The method
returns null if the property is not found.

It seems Equinox takes a snapshot of System properties when the framework is launched and uses that in the implementation of BundleContext.getProperty. The spec does not specify such behavior.

Reproducible: Always
