Setting up environment variables for hundreds of tests get old very quick. Is there a way to declare an environmental variable globally in Eclipse?
Can this be done in Eclipse? Can this be done outside of Eclipse?

To make permanent changes to the environment variables for all new accounts, go to your /etc/skel files, such as . bashrc , and change the ones that are already there or enter the new ones. When you create new users, these /etc/skel files will be copied to the new user's home directory.
The @ClearEnvironmentVariable and @SetEnvironmentVariable annotations can be used to clear, respectively, set the values of environment variables for a test execution. Both annotations work on the test method and class level, are repeatable, combinable, and inherited from higher-level containers.
It seems that the only way to do it is to enable "Run all tests in the selected project .." and set Environment variables once there.
If you want to run a single test, and that test requires an environment variable set, it looks like you need to set that environment variable as part of that tests's settings.

In windows use the "start" command to spawn eclipse from command line with defined variables (linux has similar functionality)
Make file starteclipse.cmd
================================
SET VAR1=SOMEVALUE
SET VAR2=SOMEVALUE
start d:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
================================
From command line go to the dir with starteclipse.cmd file and run it.
This will spawn eclipse with proper environment settings.
