I am trying to import a file to a program using
java -DImport=data.txt App

The problem is when I try to save the data.txt into a string I get an error
Code:

String file = System.getProperty(Import);

Error:
Cannot find symbol
Symbol: Variable Import
Locatin: String file = System.getProperty(Import);

the correct line is:

String file = System.getProperty("Import","default value");

Java was looking for a variable called Import within the code, getProperty looks for a named variable(as a String).
