run.args.extra= -J-D....

[Ernie Rael]

In a module suite's nbproject/project.properties file there is
    run.args.extra=
-J-Dcom.raelity.jvi.motd=file:///c:/a/src/jvi-docs/htdocs/motd
and in a module there is
    String s = System.getProperty("com.raelity.jvi.motd");
The variable 's' is always null when I run NB from NB. I have tried
quoting the run.args.extra in various ways, but no luck. I'm working on
windows.

Any idea what dumb thing I'm doing?

Should work. Have you tried a clean and build maybe? If you had built prior to adding this that could be it I think.

Filed issue http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=168126

If I run the "debug" target from the context menu over suite>ImportantFiles>BuildScript then it works ok, as opposed to using the toolbar button "Debug Main Project".
