Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to use variables specified in VM Arguments
for an exported RCP product.


In the project's run configuration within the Eclipse IDE I use the VM
Argument:
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=${workspace_loc:com.project.config}/config/logging.properties
This works as I need it to while running the project from the Eclipse IDE.
I verified that the custom configuration file I wrote is being read by
java.util.logging.


However, when I specify this VM Argument verbatim inside the RCP product
configuration file (.product file) for my project and export it, the
variable "workspace_loc" is not expanded out as I expected it to (and is
not read by java.util.logging).

I inserted some debugging println statements to verify this. When running
the application from the Eclipse IDE, printing the
"java.util.logging.config.file" gives something like
"F:/workspaces/workspaceA/com.project.config/config/logging.properties".

When running the exported product, printing the
"java.util.logging.config.file" gives
"${workspace_loc:com.project.config}/config/logging.properties".


Basically I don't want to hard code the absolute path into the exported
product's configuration (.ini file). I would rather use a variable that
can automatically expand out to the product's installation directory (or
perhaps the specific plugin containing the logging.properties file) within
the VM argument value. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for any help!
