All,

I’m trying with no luck to pass on some “-D” Java system properties from MyEclipse to jonas (4.3.2).

I’ve placed them in Windows / Preferences / MyEclipse / Application Servers / Jonas 4
‘Option Program Arguments’. My text looks like this:

 -Dmy.var=my.val -Dmy.var.2=my.val.2 

After adding my parameters there, I even removed my deployment and added it from scratch.
The doc on starting the app server did not address this; no ‘help’ button on the ‘Jonas 4’ page. When I start jonas using MyEclipse and my code act like nothing has been set.

I tried this w/o eclipse and it works (so this is less likely to be a jonas issue).
I added my -Dfoo=bar parameters to jonas.bat and started with ‘jonas start’.
That works fine.

WinXP
Eclipse 3.01
MyEclipse 3.8.4

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

–Erik

Doh! Replying to myself, here.

I got this to work; I was in the wrong location.

This part was right:
Windows / Preferences / MyEclipse / Application Servers / Jonas 4
But then you need to drill down further to the ‘JDK’ thing right under Jonas 4.
I put my -D parameters in the box titled ‘Optional Java VM Arguments’ and it all worked ok.
