Communication Problems with Sun SPOT on openSuSE 10.3

To be able to detect the Sun SPOT devices on openSUSE 10.3, we need to explicitly pass the path/port to the device passing the property -Dport=<port>, or manually setting this in file $SPOT_SDK_HOME/default.properties (search for the commented entry port=port.not.set)

Having the Sun SPOT under /dev/ttyACM0, pass this value for the port
