1stackoverflow.com/questions/8577249/… is not a duplicate because it's about system properties and not environment variables (the title said it the other way around, edit already suggested)Kalle Richter– Kalle Richter2017-01-22 01:29:53 +00:00Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 1:29

System.getEnv("FOO") == "FOOVALUE"
netbeans 6.7+ -
Right click Project
- ->Properties ->Actions ->Run project ->Set Properties: Add
Env.FOO=FOOVALUE
Note: You can apply the same technique on other configurations and other actions like Debug project

I could not find that Properties->Actions setting, using NetBeans 7.4. I did not explicitly need an environment variable--just some value I could set outside my application. So, instead, I was able to make a change in the "project.properties" file under the nbproject folder of the main application.
Within project.properties is a "run.args.extra" setting. Any command line argument you wish to pass along must have its 'name' preceded by '-J'. Here is an example.
run.args.extra=-J-DFOO=FOOVALUE
Note that this is NOT an environment variable. Rather, it is a System.getProperty("FOO") accessible value. Of special note: this is also the place to change how much memory your applications allocate, using Xmx/Xms.

On macOS:
In $HOME/.bashrc add alias:
alias netbeans='/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ X.Y.app/Contents/MacOS/netbeans &'
In Terminal:
> netbeans
This will start IDE with user environment variables.
As result environment variables (such as $PATH) available inside NetBeans IDE and tools (such as Ruby debugger).
