[kepler-dev] [kepler-users] launch kepler 2.0 with proxy settings

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Chris,

    I just found that there is another way to specify java system 
properties if you use 'ant run -Dsuite=...' command in build-area 
directory of the Kepler build system.

    If you put your properties into a '.properites' file in the 
'resources/system.properties' directory of the suite and run 'ant run 
-Dsuite=suite_name', the properties will be set before starting Kepler.

    It works for me when I put your properties in 
$Kepler/kepler/resources/system.properties/kepler.properties file and 
start with 'ant run -Dsuite=kepler'.

    Yet I don't know whether it is fully tested and documented.
