Description Nick Edgar CLA 2002-04-30 11:34:49 EDT 
Build 20020425

We need to document command line parameters.
See bug 14862.
Comment 1 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-03-17 22:27:46 EST 
Current ones used by the workbench are:
-newUpdates
  - signal from core that there are new features installed
  - UI runs the update manager if present
  - should not be specified by the user
  - should not be documented

-allowDeadlock
  - advanced, controls behaviour of the UIWorkspaceLock
  - vestigial
  - should not be documented

-perspective <perspectiveId>
  - opens the specified perspective in the active workbench window on startup

-showlocation
  - shows the file system location of the workspace in the titlebar of 
workbench windows


org.eclipse.core.resources defines:
-refresh
  - refreshes the workspace on startup

org.eclipse.core.runtime defines several others.  See 
InternalPlatform.processCommandLine.
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-03-25 11:21:00 EST 
Lynne, can you look into adding this if needed?  I'm not sure if we already 
have a section somewhere on command line args.
Comment 3 Jim des Rivieres CLA 2003-03-26 11:46:16 EST 
Only -perspective and -refresh needs to be documented in Tasks/Running 
Eclipse. (-showlocation is already there, and the other 2 do not surface to 
the command line).
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2003-03-26 12:38:48 EST 
Done.
Comment 5 John Arthorne CLA 2005-12-13 10:51:08 EST 
Verified.
