That hasn't worked since a very early 1.0 beta - it has been
deprecated ever since, and it's a mystery why Javasoft have it there
at all: All it does is cause a runtime error telling you that you
should use system properties instead. Why, oh why not a compile-time
error? Or do they hold the gate open for a non-Sun VM to actually do
something useful with it?
