[platform-dev] Passing system properties on eclipse startup

["Scott Stanchfield" <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all...

I'm trying to get the SWT-AWT peer level working in eclipse for plugins, but
I'm having trouble passing the

  -Dawt.toolkit=com.javadude.eclipse.swttoolkit.SWTToolkit

to the vm running eclipse.

I've tried adding

  -vmargs -Dawt.toolkit=com...

but it seems that plugins don't see this value.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there another vm being run for plugins? If
so, is there a way to pass system properties to it?

TIA,
-- Scott
