Set execution context (CWD)? [message #697245]

I have a JFrame that instantiates an object (ConfigAdaptor) which provides interfaces to configuration files. These files are available within the CWD at runtime, but WBP is assuming the Eclipse IDE's executable directory and not the project's currently-selected Run/Debug Launch Configuration. When WBP parses the java file, it attempts to actually instantiate ConfigAdaptor which, of course, cannot find the required files and throws an exception which prevents WBP from showing the UI.

Setting the "Start in" of the Windows XP Shortcut to the correct folder fixes the issue. This is not a long-term solution, as the project contains 14 separate execution contexts (folders).

ConfigAdaptor is *supposed* to bail if the critical file is not present, so I do not wish to modify this behavior.

How can I fix the issue *without* starting a new instance of Eclipse for every instance of the runtime configuration that I want to work on? I would have a new shortcut (and require quit/launch) for each different window I want to edit!!

There is no "Working Folder" in the WBP preferences. Is there a hidden property I can set?

Thanks,
Chris
