[Pljava-dev] How to configure security manager?

Apparently the third-party code I'm using is trying to do this:

java.security.Security.addProvider(
new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
System.setProperty( "java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol" );

It's necessary to open https URL connections. Essentially, what I'm trying to
do is write a trigger that relays data inserted into a table to a MSN instant
message account. This is the only place it tries to set a system property. Is
there a way I can set system properties from the postgres.conf file or pljava
such that the JVM the trigger is running in will see them?
