[jdom-interest] How to specify a basedir from the Transformer

[Ken Roberts]

Passing in a system property to a JVM is done by specifying
-Dvariable=value, no spaces on the command line.

Doing this inside JBoss means editing your run.bat file or your run.sh
file, or (if redhat) the jboss_init_redhat.sh file.
