I have created a Java application for some data conversion.
It accepts 2 parameters in the command line: input and output file.
Besides that, some program options are defined by the properties file.
I have several of these properties files for different environments, where
name of the environment included as a suffix of the properties file name.
The environment name I planned to pass as -Denv=value
Now I am trying to run/debug my application from the Netbeans.
First, I specified input and output file in the arguments window of the project 
properties and -Denv=dev in the VM options window.
In this case System.getenv("env") returned null. I.e. environment variable was 
not set.
Then, I tried to move this setting from VM options to attributes and program 
failed with the following stack trace:
Command execution failed.

Can anyone tells me what is the right way to specify this environment variable?
