Reading Command Line Parameters in RCP App [message #637237]

I tried searching the forum, but most of the command line topics were on starting eclipse.

I have an RCP app that works well. One of my views needs to access the command line parameters given to the RCP application when it is started.

In this particular case, I need to turn some logging on or off based on a command line parameter.

How can a view in my RCP app access the command line parameters that are provided when the app is launched?

Thanks,
Herb Miller

I haven't done it personally but I think you should use org.eclipse.osgi.service.environment.EnvironmentInfo to access the command line parameters.

In your start method, they're available in:
args = (String[]) applicationContext.getArguments().get(
IApplicationContext.APPLICATION_ARGS);

You can also use: org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getApplicationArgs()
