Hey  
we just started using keycloak x quarkus distribution, and we have made a user storage and user federation spi.  
our problem is that we are unable to get any property from keycloak.properties which suppose to act just like application.properties  
i have some custom properties that are not linked to any dependance and i am using them to configure the spi.

so how can i do that in keyckloak X ? shouldn’t it be just like quarkus?
