How to get/retrieve the latest properties values of RemoteThing on platform?

I am observing that every time, I start my Java SDK edge client, the properties of the bound things start as blank/uninitialized. When I set the properties using setProperty(), these values reflect in the RemoteThings on the platform. My question is how do I get the latest property values populated in the VirtualThing bound to RemoteThing at the startup of Java SDK edge client?

Or the question simply is - how do I get/retrieve the RemoteThing properties for a bound VirtualThing from Java SDK?

The Java SDK always initializes it's property values to 0 on restart unless told not to, so what you need to implement is a quick property get from the RemoteThing on the ThingWorx server to retrieve the last known values of the properties.
