How to add/update an environment variable without Eclipse restart? [message #1867479]

I am currently struggling with setting up environment variable for Eclipse in macOS. Is there a standard/recommended way to do so? Ideally, to set it without restarting Eclipse itself. The only way I know is to use "Info.plist", but that would need Eclipse restart. Are there any other ways?

Bonus points question: is there a way to set up environment variable for Eclipse, that is a result of a bash command? I need it for setting my authorization token for AWS code artifact:

export CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN=$(aws codeartifact get-authorization-token ...)

The reason behind it is that that token expires every 24 hours...

Forgot to mention that I have also tried "Environment Variables Preference Page" Eclipse plugin, but it does not seem to work.

Thank you in advance!

UPDATE: I posted the same question on Stack Overflow.

Have you tried using the "Run Configurations" option in Eclipse to set environment variables?
