/**
 * A class that implements a system property extension mechanism provided
 * by J9 for CDC. The idea is that the VM provides the original system
 * properties in a Hashtable object as an argument in extendSystemProperties
 * method. In the method a new Hashtable based instance of object is returned
 * containing original properties. The object is from class that extendeds
 * the Hashtable where the get() method is overwritten in order to handle
 * dynamic properties.
