I missed that one. Does exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thanks.
The manual (running.html) states:
ANT_OPTS command line arguments that should be passed to the JVM -
for example, you can define properties or set the maximum Java heap size
here.
Maybe it should read *system properties* instead of *properties* to make the
distinction a little bit clearer. But it's just an example anyways.
