Eclipse – You live and learn.
Yesterday, I complained about large fonts being used in Eclipse runtime instances on Mac OS X. Much to my delight, Chris was kind enough to point out that you can define a launch configuration template for PDE-based launches. It is a bit hidden and doesn't have the "launch" keyword assigned. To globally define launch config parameters, open the preference dialog and navigate to Plug-in Development -> Target Platform -> Launching Arguments:
Launch template for PDE launches
After ou have defined your favourite launching arguments, subsequently created launch configurations will be initialized with these arguments:
Launch configuration
Who would have thought you can learn something by just filing a bug?
Thanks for reading this post. You should follow me on twitter here
There is also that checkbox in the first screenshot, “Append VM arguments specified in the target’s launcher ini”
If you check that off, you should be good too as I think on Mac, the laucher arguments in eclipse.ini contain that info too.
Good point, Chris.
