Specifying preferences using command-line arguments is typically used by a sysadmin to force a few critical options (e.g. "Do *not* cache schemas"). That is, this is done to prevent the user from changing these critical options using the "Options" dialog box. What you want to do is indeed different. However, I'm not sure you need us to implement it. The script used to start XXE could simply create its own version of preferences.properties if this file is not found in the XXE_user_preferences/ directory (or if the XXE_user_preferences/ directory does not exist).
