Re: [equinox-dev] Does the fwk load the config.ini

Out of curiosity, why do you need to prevent the reading of the user's configuration if the base has changed?  I guess you released some changes to the launcher to do this same kind of logic.  You just now need to apply that logic in EclipseStarter so it does not clobber the changes you did to the launcher?

Your recollection is correct. Today the launcher reads the user configuration and then merges the based configuration, whereas the EclipseStarter only reads the user configuration.
The reason I’m looking into this is because I need to change the EclipseStarter logic to bypass the reading of the config.ini when the base has changed (which I can do easily since the heavy lifting is done in the launcher) but I wanted to be sure that not loading any properties in the FrameworkProperties would not be an issue.

Now that you mention that I am not sure what is expected to happen with the shared configuration and the config.ini files.  I guess it should read the users configuration and then merge in the parent configuration, or is it the other way around?  If I recall correctly the launcher does do cascade reading of the shared configurations, but I am unsure if the user's configuration overrides the parents or not.

At any rate, for shared configurations I think we depend on the launcher to do the merging of the cascaded configurations.

Thanks for the pointer Tom. I’ve looked at the code and I’m a bit surprise to see that this code is not handling shared configuration. Is that expected or am I missing something obvious?
 
Thx

If the framework is launched with EclipseStarter (which the launcher uses) then yes it does [1].

When running eclipse, does the framework also load the config.ini or does always leave that to the launcher?
