Where exactly do you enter these?

To test your suggestion I removed my  prior modification in the 
build.xml and then entered
"-Dderby.system.home=C:\Tomcat_5.5\webapps\database" (which is the path 
on my system)

first, on the ant launch config's Main tab (under Arguments) - that did 
not work - and
then I tried on the JRE tab (under VM arguments) - that did not work 
either - and
lastly I tried on the Environment tab and added the above as an 
environment variable. No success either.

So where whould this be entered???
