Is there a reference page that lists all the standard property keys that are always accepted by the Java System.getProperty(key) method?

I am not referring to system properties that can be set by the user of the java command (this would be an unlimited list), but to the properties the runtime sets itself (such as java.version, java.specification.version, etc).
