How to set default parameters to jvm?

I'd like to know how I can pass parameters to JVM before it is started. For example,

I think I need to modify JVM timezone parameter.

I use eclipse with windows 7.

Solution

  • In Eclipse go to

    Run As -> Run Configurations -> Arguments -> VM Arguments

    and set required JMV argument, eg

    -Duser.timezone=PST

    you can get all timezone IDs available in JVM by running this test

    for(String id : TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()) {
    System.out.println(id);
}

    output

    Etc/GMT+12
Etc/GMT+11
Pacific/Midway
Pacific/Niue
Pacific/Pago_Pago
Pacific/Samoa
....
