When I first implemented this feature at SLAC, I believe JCA or CAJ took the following override order (higher number overrides lower ones, e.g. 2 overrides 1): 

1. EPICS environment variables 
2. System level JCALibrary.properties (in system JRE or JDK's lib folder)
3. User level JCALibrary.properties (e.g. in user's ~/.JCALibrary for Linux)
4. Command line -D option
