Customizing generated .target in setup file (launcherArgs) [message #1577428]

In our CDT .target files, we are used to having the launcher arguments specified for the target platform, for example:

<launcherArgs>
<vmArgs>-Xms40m
-Xmx512M
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m</vmArgs>
<programArgs>-consolelog</programArgs>
</launcherArgs>

See
http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/plain/releng/org.eclipse.cdt.target/cdt-e4.4.target?id=3743c5d3af8ccf45f637e54fc2960d9701e4f0e6

That way, any launch configuration for this Target Platform will be created with those default arguments. This is especially important for MaxPermSize because CDT has a lot of classes and typically, the Java defaults are not sufficient. We could provide several .launch files but any new launch created will have wrong values by default so this is not perfect. I'm mainly thinking of the case when one right-clicks on a Junit test > Run as Plug-in test.

Is there any way to add the launcherArgs in the setup files? If not, I can write a bugzilla to describe the proposed feature.

Thank you!

I understand that you need these default launcher args in your .target file but from what you describe, I don't
understand how Oomph is related. Your title says "generated .target"; what is generating it? Are you talking about a
TargletTask that is annotated to generate the .target file? Can I see your setup model?

I have a Targlet in my .setup, which I assumed was generating a target for PDE to consume. At least... in the generated IDE I see in the PDE > Target Platform preferences that it sets a "Modular Target" which I can then edit and add the arguments. Those are the arguments I'd like to specify in the .setup file. Sorry if I'm not being clear :-/

Here is the CDT.setup that I'd like to merge soon:

I see. The TargletTask does not support the specification of launcher arguments, yet. I can investigate that if you
want. Please submit a bugzilla.

Looking forward to it ;-)
