Re: [equinox-dev] JVM arguments passed through launcher command line?

[Stephan Herrmann <stephan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ben,

that's why we need the docs :-/
I remember a discussion to use --launcher.appendVmargs only
as a toggle, you'd still need -vmargs in addition.
Also, I'm not sure if all is supported on the command line or whether
the toggle must occur in the .ini file
(see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149994#c56 )
