Using various Eclipse ini files

I am using a software client based on Eclipse (Ganymede) and its all working fine. However, one small thing would make my world perfect...

In the Eclipse home folder, there is an ini-fil开发者_开发百科e. Is there a way to have various ini-files and choose (for example by arguments or environment variables) a specific ini file and create a shortcut for it?

Many thanks,

You can make as many shortcut you want with the:

• the eclipse.exe executable
• the option --launcher.ini /your/eclipse.ini

See Eclipse Help page on Runtime Options:

--launcher.ini <location> (Executable)

The location of the product .ini file to use.
If not specified the executable will look for a file beside the launcher with the same name and the extension .ini.
(ie eclipse.exe looks for eclipse.ini, product.exe looks for product.ini)

So you can have more than one "eclipse.ini" file: each one will be referenced as an argument within the --launcher.ini option.

The easy way would be to have a shell script (for *nix) or batch file for windows that would simulate the behaviour you want

#!/bin/ksh

echo "first arg is the name of the ini file to use otherwise using default one"

ln -s $1 eclipse.ini

#launch eclipse
