Eclipse launcher configuration
Description
When starting Eclipse there are many command-line arguments which are valid
to pass along to the executable. Rather than creating a shortcut or script for
launching, users are able to create a launcher configuration file which will be
read by the executable on startup.
The format of the launcher configuration file is as follows:
- The configuration file must have the same name as the executable itself, with a file
extension of
.ini
. For instance, the default launcher configuration file
is called eclipse.ini
.
- The file must contain only one command-line argument per line.
- Whitespace is important...there cannot be any extra spaces at the end of each line.
- The file should be located as a sibling of the executable.
Sample file content:
-vm
c:/path/to/my/java.exe
-debug
-console
-data
d:/path/to/my/workspace
-vmargs
-Xmx384m
