on windows, a classpath looks like "path1;path2;path3"; the path  
separator is a semicolon, not a comma.  If you use the classpath  
editor within costello, you should see one entry per line.

if you intend all of the -Dname=value options to be passed to the VM,  
then you need to pass them when you launch the VM, and not pass them  
to your program as arguments.
