How to define a new vmarg (-vmargs) in Eclipse? [message #325944]

Hello,

Can someone tell me how to define a new vmarg (-vmargs) in Eclipse?
I've written a plug-in, which is responsible for executing automated tests
on an RCP app that the particular plug-in is also installed in.
I need to find someway to trigger the tests execution if and only if a
specific argument (vmarg) is passed to the product at startup?

Thanks in advance!

The arguments following -vmargs are passed directly to the JVM that is
running Eclipse. To pass a special parameter to your own class, you
could use the standard -DsomeProprtyName=someValue as one of the vmargs.

Hope this helps,
Eric
