[BLUEJ-740] bluej.properties file may not be located by bluej.exe launcher
On my machine, my profile directory is c:\Users\neil as is standard on Windows. But due to have originally installed with a fairly small SSD as my C: drive, my "My Documents" folder is set to E:\home.
My bluej.properties file is stored in C:\Users\neil\bluej\bluej.properties, and BlueJ proper finds it just fine. But the launcher EXE looks in %HOME%\bluej\bluej.properties and thus doesn't locate the file (it looks in E:\home\bluej\bluej.properties). Which means you can't set e.g. bluej.windows.vm.args in bluej.properties.
This is a fairly obscure bug (you need to be trying to set windows VM args, and have an odd setup like me), but maybe worth bearing in mind when answering support requests if setting windows VM args doesn't seem to work.
