BIRT 2.3.2 - Specify Port for WebViewer

I am attempting to run BIRT 2.3.2 in an OSGi environment. When WebViewer.startup(); is called this is displayed in the log:

23-12:28:41 [vent Dispatcher] INFO Container - Started org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty.internal.Servlet25Handler@1f2f60d
23-12:28:41 [vent Dispatcher] INFO Container - Started HttpContext[/viewer,/viewer]
23-12:28:41 [vent Dispatcher] INFO SocketListener - Started SocketListener on 127.0.0.1:49507
23-12:28:41 [vent Dispatcher] INFO Container - Started org.mortbay.http.HttpServer@15b5783

You can see that the url is: "127.0.0.1:49507" and the context is "viewer." The problem is that each time the WebViewer is started, it uses a different port. I need this to be consistent so that we can provide a link to it from a separate application.

First thought was to add this parameter to the vm arguments:

-Dorg.osgi.service.http.port=8082

but this doesn't seem to make a difference.

Does anyone know how to specify which port the WebViewer should use?

Thank you in advance!

In case anyone is wondering, you can do this by using the code below:

import org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer.ViewerPlugin;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer.utilities.WebViewer;

ViewerPlugin viewerPlugin = ViewerPlugin.getDefault();
Preferences prefs = viewerPlugin.getPluginPreferences();
prefs.setValue("port", 8081);
viewerPlugin.savePluginPreferences();
WebViewer.startup();
