seems there's really no easy way to set env vars directly
in general I think that this is ok and you should not set env vars directly,
but I have a good exception to this rule: it is described in the paragraph
"Using Saxon (but not as default)" of
http://martin-trummer.blogspot.com/2009/11/wysiwyg-gotchas.html Blog:
WYSIWYG gotchas
the solution I came up with is to write my own little mojo that I can pass
the env-vars I want to set.
I bind the plugin execution to the early validate phase and pass the
properties like this:
<configuration>
<environmentVariables>
<property>
<name>javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory</name>
<value>com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl</value>
</property>
</environmentVariables>
</configuration>
in the mojo I simply call System.setProperty() for all given environment
vars - this works for my usecase.
However, beware that you should only use this if absolutely necessary
