 * Manages properties so any property modifications are handled here.

 * The class holds all OpenEJB properties and optionally can amend the

 * The aim of this class is to establish one place to keep the properties and
 * eventually remove the need to set System properties to communicate between
 * parts and possibly yet lay out a foundation for setting them up in JNDI or
 * some other means
 * <p/>
