[eclipse-dev] Setting global vm args in releng automated test framework


For anyone using the command line automated test framework used in the Eclipse 2.1.1 and 3.0 builds, there is now support for setting vm args that run the JUnit plugin tests.

This is accomplished by doing the following:

1.  Download and install the test framework and tests for a given build as specified here:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/org.eclipse.test/readme.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html

2.  Create a file containing the line extraVMargs=<desired vm args>.  For example to run tests with the JIT disabled, use the entry "extraVMargs=-Djava.compiler=NONE".
3.  Execute runtests with the " -properties <path to file created above>" flag.


Please let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks,

Sonia
