Description Yves Harms CLA 2005-12-09 10:08:17 EST 
Today the jvm parameters from the product configuration are copied by the export wizard into the <lancher>.ini .
Under MacOSX however there is an addditional config file which seem to override that information - the info.plist .
Please make sure that either the jvm parameters from <lancher.ini> are not overriden by info.plist or let the wizard add the parameter to the info.plist, too.

confirm that the current behavior is correct.
Comment 3 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2006-05-03 11:30:54 EDT 
I can confirm that the parameters setup in the ini are taken into account. Everything works as expected.
Comment 4 Yves Harms CLA 2006-08-25 10:39:00 EDT 
I just upgraded to 3.2.0 and the problem still persists.
Setting the instance area in the product configuration via vm parameters has no effect: 
-Dosgi.instance.area=@user.home/Lago/LagoPict

Any suggestions ?

(Sorry for the late reply)
Comment 5 Yves Harms CLA 2007-03-23 12:07:31 EDT 
In the integration build from Thu, 22 Mar 2007 the problem still persists.
The exported info.plist does not contain any vm-args.
Is any work planned on this ?
Comment 6 Andrew Niefer CLA 2007-03-23 15:56:45 EDT 
I would blame this on bug 164762
Comment 7 DJ Houghton CLA 2007-04-17 15:54:17 EDT 
Is this still a problem for you with a recent build? (e.g. since bug 164762 was fixed)
Comment 8 Yves Harms CLA 2007-04-19 07:13:15 EDT 
Created attachment 64292 [details]
screenshot of .product

I can confirm that the <myproductname>.ini is now placed correctly.
But there seems to be a bad sideffect: the vm arguments from the product configuration are not exported to the ini anymore.

Comment 9 Andrew Niefer CLA 2009-05-13 18:35:01 EDT 
marking as works for me.  We have never inserted arguments into the info.plist file.  There is an explicit warning not to add vm arguments to the info.plist because they do over-ride the launcher .ini
