This example is an RCP application that reads the key "Test" from the
system configuration file and puts it into a Text widget in the UI.
To make this work, you must supply a propertiesLocation.ini file. It must
be placed next to the eclipse.exe of your running IDE and it must contain
a line of the form:
ConfigurationLocation=<URL>
For example:
ConfigurationLocation=file:///c:/configuration.ini
This specifies the location and name of the system configuration file.
The following substitution variables are recognized in this URL:
${install_location} - Where eclipse.exe lives
${user_location} - The current user's home directory
${workspace_location} - The RCP application's workspace location
In the general case, this file is simply a Java Properties file object.
For example:
Test=<some string>
The value of this key is what is read and placed into the user interface.
