Does kafka java client provides process level (system variable) properties support?

Question

In my java project we created kafka producer and consumers from different places as and when required. Now i want to configure SSL on brokers. its working perfectly fine if i configure below properties on each producer and consumer in java :

            kafkaClientProperties.put(CommonClientConfigs.SECURITY_PROTOCOL_CONFIG, "SSL"); 
            kafkaClientProperties.put(SslConfigs.SSL_KEYSTORE_LOCATION_CONFIG, this.keystore); 
            kafkaClientProperties.put(SslConfigs.SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_CONFIG, this.keyStorePassword); 
            kafkaClientProperties.put(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION_CONFIG, this.trustStore);
            kafkaClientProperties.put(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD_CONFIG, this.trustStorePassword);
            kafkaClientProperties.put(SslConfigs.SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM_CONFIG, ""); 

but i have to set these properties on each producer and consumer in my application. is there any way by which i can set these common properties at process level (e.g system variable) , so that i can avoid code changes at multiple places.

For a reference : I recently configured ssl on solr , and solrj client has this facility that we can set system property and solrj clinet will read it internally.

Kafka clients do not fetch configs from System properties outside of JAAS config (i.e. standard JVM properties)

Sounds like you just need a standard library refactoring or use a higher level config templating like Spring offers
