vmargs -Dproperty not being passed in Linux [message #217076]

I have written a plugin that reads in a preferences file based on options
sent to it through -vmargs (eg. ./eclipse -vmargs
-Dpreferences.file="/opt/eclipse-SDK-3.2.2/afmp_preferences.epf "). I've
also tried putting it in eclipse.ini

Both of the above methods work in the Windows environment, but are failing
under Linux.

Any ideas why?
Is -vmargs not the proper way to pass java properties to the VM?
