Thanks again for your very clear explanations.

What I tried since the beginning :

java -cp 
C:\BlueJ\lib\bluej.jar;C:\jdk1.6.0\lib\tools.jar 
-Dhttp.proxyHost=cache.esiee.fr -
Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 bluej.Boot

was correct !

To suppress the warning, I just replaced the command path :

some_paths;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;other_paths;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVA\JDK1.6.0_02\BIN

by this one :

C:\PROGRA~1\JAVA\JDK1.6.0_02\BIN;some_paths;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;other_paths

and as you said, BlueJ now uses the JVM from JDK instead of from WINDOWS !

(a great BlueJ fan, since I have currently 7 sets 
of lectures that are using BlueJ,
  as you can see here : http://www.esiee.fr/~bureaud/unites.htm ,
  and two more I've "launched" but I'm not responsible for anymore)
