How do I specify a preferences.xml file when I invoke JOSM ?

Hello ! I would like to config JOSM for two different uses but with the same user. I find a preference file here : ~/.josm/preferences.xml and he seems that I can define the var JOSM_ARGS when I invoke josm-tested.jar but I don't find any documentation about it.

Is there a method like that JOSM_ARGS="-f ~/.josm/other_preferences_file.xml"

Thank you.
