Setting eclipse.vmargs in config.ini? [message #8206]

Is it possible to set the eclipse.vmargs value in the config.ini file with
Eclipse versions 3.0+ ? I am trying to "hardwire" a max heap size of 512M
by adding the following line to the config.ini file:

eclipse.vmargs=-Xmx512M

When I go to the Configuration Details page after Eclipse loads, it
doesn't show up.

Yes, I understand this. But the issue is, is that when I distribute what
I'm developing, I don't want to make the user create a shortcut each time
with the extra parameters. I'd rather be able to tell Eclipse through the
config.ini file what the -Xms and -Xmx values are.
