 The getProperties method returns the job level properties
 specified in a job definition.
 </p>
 A couple of notes:
 <ul>
 <li> There is no guarantee that the same Properties object instance
 is always returned in the same (job) scope.
 <li> Besides the properties which are defined in JSL within a child
 &lt;properties&gt; element of a &lt;job&gt; element, the batch runtime
 implementation may choose to   include additional,
 implementation-defined properties.
 </ul>
