You need the full path to jboss-profiler.properties in your -D option. The jboss-profiler.properties inside the jar will be default values so you need to override them in your local copy. The client depends on other jar files like the jboss-remoting.jar. You need the files in the same directory as the client.jar. Otherwise see the MANIFEST.MF file inside client.jar for the needed jar files. You only need the jboss-profiler.jar and jboss-profiler-plugins.jar in AS/bin -- and asm.jar if you use the asm option inside the property file. Hope this helps !
