From my mailing list post:

===

For the record, I just checked out hawkular-services tag 0.0.2.Final, built the dist, and I see this in standalone.xml now:

<system-properties>
<property name="hawkular.backend" value="${hawkular.backend:embedded_cassandra}"/>
<property name="hawkular.agent.enabled" value="${hawkular.agent.enabled:false}"/>
</system-properties>

which means all of this will work.

But now, in master, I don't get any <system-properties> section at all.
