Anyone know how to set a system property value

( -Dproperty=value
Set a system property value. If value is a string that contains spaces, you
must enclose the string in double quotes:
java -Dfoo="some string" SomeClass )
on an Eclipse Launch Configuration?VAJ had a TextEditor in the
Program tab of the class properties to do this?-Dfoo="some string" in the
Eclipse program arguments is passed as a program argument.TIA Steve Stephens

and placing
-Dfoo="some string"
in the VM arguments does what?
I think it does what you want.
