How eclipse.ini takes effect? [message #1849416]

Hello,
I'm not sure is it suitable to post the question here.

When we modify vm arguments in `eclipse.ini` and restart Eclipse,
the modification will take effect.

I wonder how `eclipse.ini` takes effect?
I want to use `myApp.ini` to allow user to modify vm arguments too,
but how can `myApp.ini` take effect?

Thanks for any help.

This isn't a technical forum. When in doubt where to ask, ask on the newcomers forum:

As you noticed, a restart is needed, so if you allow users to modify the *.ini while the application is running you should tell the user to restart or force a restart programmatically (just like Help -> Install New Software tells the user to restart after the install completes).
