[ptp-dev] Plugin Installation and Launch Environment Variables

[wspear <wspear@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,
I noticed recently that installing the PTP by exporting the plugins into 
my eclipse plugins directory no longer works (The PTP preference page 
shows up without the debug section but the rest of the PTP is absent 
from the UI (the run dialog in particular)).  It still works fine if I 
launch a new instance of eclipse with the PTP plugins in the current 
instance's workspace selected in the launch configuration.  Is this a 
known issue, or am I having a local problem?

Also, has there been any thought on adding an environment variable 
setting (as seen in the CDT) to the parallel application launch system?  
The TAU plugin presently needs to use environment variables to define 
the location for performance data output.  If environment variable 
settings aren't likely forthcoming I can look for an alternative means 
of controlling the output location.

Thanks,
Wyatt
