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?
