| <h1>Eclipse launcher configuration</h1> |
| <h2>Description</h2> |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| </p><p> |
| The format of the launcher configuration file is as follows: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The configuration file must have the same name as the executable itself, with a file |
| extension of <code>.ini</code>. For instance, the default launcher configuration file |
| is called <code>eclipse.ini</code>.</li> |
| <li>The file must contain only one command-line argument per line.</li> |
| <li>Whitespace is important...there cannot be any extra spaces at the end of each line.</li> |
| <li>The file should be located as a sibling of the executable.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Sample file content:</p> |
| <blockquote><pre><code> |
| -vm |
| c:/path/to/my/java.exe |
| -debug |
| -console |
| -data |
| d:/path/to/my/workspace |
| -vmargs |
| -Xmx384m |
| </code></pre></blockquote> |
