The PDE seems to treat the -application and the -product command line options as mutually exclusive. For example, in the launcher I can pick only "Run a product" or "Run an application." In the product editor I can select both an application and a product, but when I launch a product configuration that has entries for both, only the -product value is passed in. The docs on the command line arguments don't seem to indicate that these are mutually exclusive options. So, if they are not mutually exclusive the PDE should not treat them as such. If they are, the product editor should work the same as the launch configuration UI.
Interesting. I do not believe that are mutually exclusive. In essences the set of applications available to run are all those in the plugins listed by the product. Products define a default application but you should be able to run eclipse -product foo -application bar.
Has this been looked at for 3.4?
hasn't been looked for 3.4, patches are welcomed though to expedite the process 3.4M7 is feature freeze.
