Ouch that sad.  Well 1.5 should be *more* secure then 1.4 :) But *should* is the word here.

Well thats obvious that your property is not used when used form COmmandline,

I'm quite sure that -J-Dproperty=value will work for you, but it still mean that -proeprty is not propagated in time or not used at all. And well it loosk liek -Xnofork will not help you.

May you also try to create empty /atlas-home/1/chlee/.icedtea/deployment.properties and then try to use various properties  style declarations?
