Hmm, I can't reproduce this.

The following Tcl Code works as expected
%     java::call ptolemy.util.StringUtilities mergePropertiesFile
%     set property [java::call ptolemy.util.StringUtilities getProperty
java.class.path]

mergePropertiesFile() looks like:

   /** Merge the properties in lib/ptII.properties with the current
     *  properties.  lib/ptII.properties is searched for in the
     *  classpath.  The value of properties listed in
     *  lib/ptII.properties do not override properties with the same
     *  name in the current properties.
     *  @exception IOException If thrown while looking for the
     *  $CLASSPATH/lib/ptII.properties file.
     */
    public static void mergePropertiesFile() throws IOException {
        Properties systemProperties = System.getProperties();
        Properties newProperties = new Properties();
        String propertyFileName = "$CLASSPATH/lib/ptII.properties";

        // FIXME: xxxxxxCLASSPATHxxxxxx is an ugly hack
        URL propertyFileURL = FileUtilities.nameToURL(
                "xxxxxxCLASSPATHxxxxxx/lib/ptII.properties", null, null);

        if (propertyFileURL == null) {
            throw new IOException("Could not find " + propertyFileName);
        }

        newProperties.load(propertyFileURL.openStream());

        // systemProperties is a HashSet, so we merge in the new properties.
        newProperties.putAll(systemProperties);
        System.setProperties(newProperties);
        // FIXME: This should be logged, not printed.
        //System.out.println("Loaded " + propertyFileURL);
    }

What does your lib/ptII.properties file look like?
