sed with doubling?

Since we now have full control over the code, it doesn't have to follow the old pattern. There is, of course, desirability in having the most backwards compatibility.

I'm even thinking of defining a new optional env to read values with a different delimiter, | for example.Something visually easy to type, but also retaining as much compatibility as possible...

Fair. Not sure how fancy this needs to get. File/config mounts can easily be used to replace custom.vmoptions in docker and k8s. I don't think that's as much an option for mirth.properties since it doesn't seem to support includes. Perhaps adding includes to mirth.properties is an option? That would also simplify the install/upgrade story.

Edit:
Actually, I misspoke. mirth.properties does seem to support includes. Can we just make this a mount? Less magic. I understand the envs for the database and common properties, but at some point, we're re-inventing config mounts.

I tested these builds by running the compose locally. It works. OIE launches and I can log in.

The README was largely dervied from NG, it says how to actually USE the software. I also grabbed the examples directory and updated it to our image

Good point! I shall Investigate this a little.

Actually, question for @OpenIntegrationEngine/maintainers, should we break compat by dropping the VMOPTIONS env and forcing everything into conf/custom.vmoptions? K8s, Docker, and Nomad orchestrators all support mounting configurations into files, and native deployments can simply write to that file anyway.

@mgaffigan regarding the includes keyword from commons-configuration2, I think it's worth investigating, but in within a separate issue/pr.
This is because the current implementation in engine doesn't handle duplicates - it simply returns a List with the two values, which most likely breaks other fetches in the codebase.

Given mirth.propertiesand more.properties, serverProperties.getProperty("key2") returns an ArrayList of ["value2", "value2 but some more"].

# mirth.properties
key1 = "value1"
key2 = "value2"

include = more.properties

# more.properties
key2 = "value2 but some more"
key3 = "value3"

NO. Using includes and vmoptions is a good idea, but this should be a separate PR in a later issue so we can consider the compat issues.

I don't think we should break it either. Keeping the VMOPTIONS env var does not prevent someone from using conf/custom.vmoptions instead, whether they choose to or are required to because of the current VMOPTIONS behavior.

And I would probably keep the VMOPTIONS appending to the main oieserver.vmoptions file, so if anyone provides the same option in both a mounted conf/custom.vmproperties and the env variable, the env variable will come later and replace the option from the file mount.
