Headless run of RCP application with parameters [message #640491]

Hello,
I have looked at different post here on headless execution of SWT bot test.
Looked at the wiki using the swtbot application : org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplica tion
, and looked at bonita's blog http://www.bonitasoft.org/blog/eclipse/swtbot-my-new-friend/
but could not find any information on how to pass parameters to my own RCP application ?
What is the command line parameter to add to specify parameters to my hown application ?

I have also managed to launch SWT Bot test from the Eclipse Junit Plug-in test without the need of SWTBot execution type. Do we really need the headless swtbot framework and this org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplica tion application ??
Why do not use the JUnit headless execution ?

Thanks.
SeB.
Thanks.

I've never used parameters for our own RCP app. Here is the command-line we use to start our tests:
java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplica tion -testPluginName org.bonitasoft.studio.diagram.test -testApplication org.bonitasoft.studio.application.application -className org.bonitasoft.studio.diagram.test.AllSWTBotTests formatter=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJU nitResultFormatter,junit-results-swtbot.xml -nl en -consoleLog -Xms40m -Xmx348m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=AllSWTBotTests.hprof -Dbonita.noregister=1
Have you tried to use the same argument as for standard headless junit application (if it exists)?

Don't know

I think you can use JUnit launcher to run your SWTBot tests, but SWTBot provides some test runners to take screenshots of the application when a test fails. This is sometimes useful, and you need to use the SWTBot launcher to leverage this feature.

Thanks Michael,
I have manage to add the application arguments by simply placing then on the command line before the vm arguments like any other arguments and it works fine.
