For the time being, double-clicking on the server instance and editing it's launch configuration should allow you to add the proper parameters to the vm or program args. While I thank you from the bottom of my geeky heart for the answer, might I suggest tihs is a very poor UI decision? Nowhere else does the UI use a double click for setting server properties (it's simple execution or opening configuration, and I had right clicked, clicked, properties selected, etc everywhere. But I hadn't tried double-clicking. Can something like "Properties..." be added to the right-click menu for the server view? That would have saved me 4-5 days of frustration.
