Hello folks,

I have and RCP application that I would like to make configurable on start-up.

For example when my App is launched, it has to connect to a given url to get some information, so I would like to have a local configuration file that once I generate the executable of my App I can make the url manually configurable.

The problem I had found is that once I generate my executable with the corresponding .product file, all files get "bundled" and I have no access to my config file, i.e., I cannot manually edit the file to put the url I need depending on the environment.

Any on how can I do this? How are you implementing configurable Apps using RCP?

Hi,
inside your productfile you can use the launching arguments
for defining your url or configfile location
use the program argument which you can check inside your app with
Platform.getApplicationArgs();

org set a vm argument

Both will be written to your client.ini , so that you can change it quick.

But you should have a backup conf inside your jars, that comes up if
your argument dosent work ( missing file or so on).


Hope it helps you
