Right now there is no way to pass arbitrary command-line switches
to a compiler.  This is related to the level of integration we have
between the compiler classes and our error-reporting interface.  We are 
aware
that this is a limitation for some users, and we have been considering
solutions.  In the meantime, the two options you refer to can be 
modified directly via options in the Preferences dialog or by modifying 
the .drjava
properties file (recommended only for experienced users).

P.S. Please login to SourceForge when posting requests in the future, 
to make it easier to keep you updated on our responses.
