Specify multiple paths for JVM in ini file? [message #536396]

In my product ini file I can set the vm for it to use; something like:

-vm
.../jre/bin
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m

Works fine. This looks for the jre one folder up. Is there a way to have it
search multiple paths? I tried:

(newline)
-vm
.../jre/bin
../jre/bin

(comma)
-vm
.../jre/bin, ./jre/bin

(semi-colon)
-vm
.../jre/bin; ./jre/bin

(space)
-vm
.../jre/bin ./jre/bin

(two vm flags - just uses the last)
-vm
.../jre/bin
-vm
../jre/bin

Anyone else have any ideas?

Sorry, the launcher does not support anything like this.
The best I could think of would be to write a script that does the searching
and then executes the vm.

Or, modify the system path environment variable before launching and don't
specify -vm. (Though eclipse/jre will be checked before the system path).
