You have to specify it using the -D option of the java interpreter :
java -DSOOT_CLASSPATH=...

Otherwise, you have to specify it in a special .properties file, that you
can load with the load method of the Properties object.
I have to check if there is something newer that what I am talking about.
But I don't think you can read environment variables...
