I have a Java 21 Spring Boot 3.2 application that needs to load a bunch of properties. In the application, several files use:

@Value("${some.value}")
private String someValue;

I also have a SOPS file containing several key/values that I need the Spring Boot app to be able to load. The file contents are in the following format:

some.value = myValue

How do I get the values loaded into the Spring Boot app?

This is for local development. Right now the values are being copied into an application-local.properties file for local development. But then that file needs to be deleted after because having the two files is pointless and the SOPS file is encrypted. Is there a way to just load the values into the environment?

Thanks.
