Running a java program with apitrace from Eclipse [message #1385482]

Hello.

I use apitrace (apitrace dot github dot io) to debug OpenGL programs written in Java.

Typically, the program is run with:

$ apitrace trace java -jar ...

Is there a way to do this from eclipse? That is, is there a way to tell the Java application launcher to prefix whatever the resulting command it executes is with "apitrace trace"?

A thousand people don't know how to get the Java launcher to run something other than "java"?

Better ask such questions on the 'newcomers' forum or even better rtfm.

I am afraid that is a good answer for the simple case you were asked but how do I do this when I am developing RCP plugins and the like? I have and "Eclipse Application" run configuration that has some plugin management with several workspace plugins, a redefined target that contains an SDK full of additional plugins and so on... I just need to tack the "apitrace trace" to the start of the java invocation but I need all the additional RCP plugin management stuff that is usually in the run configuration and NOT available within the "external application" run configuration.

Thanks.
