Java/Webdriver - opening a Firefox instance - firefoxbinary and setenvironmentproperty

Question

Im trying to launch a Firefox instance with webdriver, but I want to instruct it to use certain xvfb display. I think something is wrong with my code, though

   FirefoxBinary ffox = new FirefoxBinary();
   ffox.setEnvironmentProperty("DISPLAY", "22");
   driver = new FirefoxDriver();

As you can see, at no point there is any mention to the "new firefoxdriver()" to use that ffox setting, but when I put ffox in the brackets of FirefoxDriver, my code goes red, because it can't accept such thing.

Is there something wrong with my code?

You need to set System property to use the FF binary. Refer here http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/FirefoxDriver
