Hi,
I would like to add an environment variable, for example
HOME_LIB=c:\mylib, to config.ini. This environment variable will be set
before my RCP is running.

What is the format of the statement to be in config.ini ?

Thanks,
Tong

You can not set environment variable in a config.ini.
However all the properties set in this file are available in
System.getProperties().
Note that java 1.4 do not give access to the environment variable.

My RCP application uses DLLs that need some environment variables to be
set.
Where can I set (or specify in some file ?) these env. variables so that
they will be set before the Java VM is running ?
It is OK also if I can pass the settings as the arguments of Java VM.

Regards,
Tong

In the <exe>.ini you can specify VM args, however this will require you
to use an installer to generate the proper entry in the file to indicate
the location of the dll.

If you are delivering the dlls and they are loaded from plugin code, I
would recommend you to deliver them in a plugin (for examples see the
swt plugins and fragments).
