setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH through eclipse

I'm trying a small application with Mozilla HTML Parser. However, for
the parser to work you need to link additional libraries, which are
picked up from LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'm able to set that variable and
execute the application from command line; but I would like to know how
to do same from within Eclipse, so that I can run the app from Eclipse
itself!

I'm not an Eclipse user, so I'll offer an alternate solution instead:
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting Eclipse and it will be inherited
by any subprocesses automatically.

Or, use Eclipse to set system property java.library.path.

Or, use Eclipse to set environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You do it from the "Run..." or "Debug..." dialog, in the "Environment" tab.
