title: Passing the command line parameters to Jetty's start.jar
body: <p>I just started working with Jetty in Mac, previously I was using Linux. So now my jetty is installed at</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/jetty
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So in order to set the properties like my <em>deployed.environment</em>, or <em>JETTY_HOME</em> in the configuration file at</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/jetty/bin/jetty.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was using like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>JETTY_HOME=/etc/jetty
  JETTY_USER=root
  JETTY_LOGS=/etc/jetty/logs/
  JAVA_OPTIONS+="-Ddeployed.environment=stage -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I came to Mac environment I don't understand where can I give these properties to reflect my environment.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking at a solution by running the Jar with the command line parameters
  Please shed some light on this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.
  :)</p>
