Kepler RCP Export wraps Program Launching Arguments [message #1281999]

Hi,

I'm customizing the launch arguments for an e4 RCP application so that the configuration locations better reflect the native locations. However, it seems that with Version: Kepler Service Release 2 Build id: 20140224-0627 the generated application ini has the arguments wrapped at the whitespace.

If I manually edit the generated file, things work as expected.

My question is: what can I do to prevent this from happening?

My launch arguments for Mac are:

-data
@user.home/Library/Application Support/MYAPP
-user
@user.home/Library/Application Support/MYAPP

Yet, they appear in the generated export bundle as:

-data
@user.home/Library/Application
Support/Archistry/Desktop/Workspace
-user
@user.home/Library/Application
Support/Archistry/Desktop/Data

Obviously, this isn't the expected or desired behavior.

Also, I tried many times and finally gave up trying to specify arguments containing whitespace for the Win32 builds. No matter what I did (even hand-editing the generated INI file), the arguments were not interpreted correctly when the exported application was launched.

Should I file a bug for this?

Cheers,

ast
