style(help): added example for using a application.properties config file;

Another commonly-used method of configuring ${solution_name} is to provide a configuration file. The configuration file
can be a Java properties (.properties) file, or a YAML (.yml) file.
-The most common location for a configuration file is in a file named application.properties or application.yml
-in the current working directory, or a ./config subdirectory.
+Spring will look for a configuration file named application.properties or application.yml
+in the current working directory, or a ./config subdirectory. If it exists, it will read
+property values from it.
+
+For example, if you wanted to set property *detect.project.name* using a configuration (.properties) file, you
+could do it as follows:
+````
+echo "detect.project.name=myproject" > application.properties
+bash <(curl -s -L https://detect.synopsys.com/detect.sh) --detect.source.path=/opt/projects/project1
+````
+Because the configuration file has one of the file names that Spring looks for by default
+(in this case, application.properties) and exists in one of the locations
+that Spring looks in by default (in this case, the current directory), there is no need to specify the path
+to the configuration file on the command line.
