Overriding an application.properties variable from System Variables

I have the following properties inside config.properties file.

resources=/home/pc/work/resources
file1=${resources}/file1
file2=${resources}/file2
file3=${resources}/file3

And loading the java.util.Properties to read those properties:

properties = new Properties();

    InputStream inputStream = PropertyReader.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config.properties");
    try {
        properties.load(inputStream);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Apparently, this will always read the values directly from the file. Is it possible to override the resources variable as a system variable while maintaining a default value?
