Hi,
I want to specify a non default eclipse.ini file for the testing eclipse
launched by a Run config. And this is the eclipse.ini used by the target
platform as well.
However, specifying the --launcher.ini option in the "Program arguments"
on the Arguments tab of the run configuration's doesn't make the testing
eclipse pick up the configurations from the specified eclipse.ini file.
I can see the "--launcher.ini ...." line in the
Help->About->Configuration Details but not the contents from the .ini
files (such as the vmargs).
The "--launcher.ini" works if used in the CLI to launch eclipse from an
xterm.
How did others make the testing Eclipse pick up a specific eclipse.ini file?
Thanks
Maggie

The --launcher.ini argument is used by the eclipse executable to find
the eclipse.ini. When you running a launch config inside eclipse, it
does not use the eclipse executable, but is instead starting java directly.
The only way I know to get it to read the --launcher.ini would to
instead use something like the CDT to start the eclipse executable. You
would need to pass vm arguments to tell it to accept a java debugger,
you end up with 2 debuggers on the process, the CDT and the JDT. The
arguments for this would be "-vmargs -Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=800 0 "
When the vm is started it will wait for you to attach a java debugger.
You would lose the self hosting of the java code from your workspace
when you do this. To get that back you would need to pass "-dev
/path/to/dev.properties". Start a normal self hosted workspace and look
at the configuration details to see what that looks like. You may also
need to set the vm system property "eclipse.pde.launch=true" for PDE to
be happy.
