Application args - ${user.name} [message #203055]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a re-post, but I haven't been able to find any answer to
this one.

In my launch config I would like to specify property ids as arguments for my
app to translate. E.g. I can have a pattern for log4j formatting as an
application argument.

In the launch config I would therefor like to have arguments such as
${user.name} without having Eclipse trying to locate the value. Is there any
escape character for these constructs or can I specify the property in
another way?

I beleive you should enter an enhancement request. We support various
variables that can be used for passing arguments to a launched process. See
the "Variables" button on the Arguments tab of a Java launch config.
However, we do not have a variable for system properties such as
"user.name". I would suggest to enter an enhamcement request to support a
variable like "${system_property:property_name}".

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, maybe I should enter that request becuase I bet other
should benefit from that too...

The workaround would be to enter all these properties in a file and supply
the path to that file as argument instead...I guess...
