Passing VM args from the self extracting archive to eclipse-inst.exe [message #1700564]

If I try

eclipse-inst.exe -vmargs "-Doomph.redirection.setups=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->mysetupurl"

it works correctly, but if I try the same against the self extracting exe,

eclipse-inst-win64.exe -vmargs "-Doomph.redirection.setups=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->mysetupurl"

it doesn't seem to work.

The self extracting exe doesn't seem to be passing the vmargs to the extracted exe.

Is there a way to get this working without having to extract the archive?

No, it definitely doesn't pass them on. In fact I'm not sure it even
looks at any command line arguments at all...

Correct. We could investigate that as a new functionality (please submit a bugzilla to remind us) but so far we expected
all "advanced" things to be done only with a "kept" installer. Have you noticed that the installer aks you if you want
to keep it in a permanent (unzipped) location if you switch to advanced mode (or at the end of an installation in simple
mode)?

IIRC. there's only one "internal" argument recognized that we use to test the fall-back strategy for the case that no
adequate JVM is found.
