Description Alex Miller CLA 2002-06-07 13:05:34 EDT 
It would be really, really great if you could see the full command line 
actually being run when you launch an external tool.  This makes debugging 
external tool setup way easier.
Comment 1 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-07 16:14:18 EDT 
I thought we added this.
Comment 2 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-06-07 16:52:11 EDT 
No, we do not print this information out to the log console. I agree, it would 
be very useful.
Comment 3 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-09-06 15:13:54 EDT 
Now in the new external tool rework

Note: new external tool work is not yet released to the head stream and won't 
for a while yet.

This bug has not been fixed and should not have been closed.
Comment 5 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-11 09:39:09 EST 
Java VM processes show the command line used to launch them. We should promote 
this attribute to the debug core, to allow any process to be annotated with its 
command line, such that it can be seen from the "properties" pop-up in the 
debug view.
Comment 6 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-11 10:23:34 EST 
Fixed - promoted process attribute and property page to debug platform. Program 
launch delegate annotates process with command line.
Comment 7 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-11 10:23:47 EST 
Please verify, Jared.
Comment 8 Jared Burns CLA 2002-11-12 11:48:30 EST 
Doesn't appear to work. After executing an ant build script, a target and a
process appear in the debug view.

Selecting "Properties" on the process brings up the process information dialog,
but the "command line:" field is empty. Selecting "Properties" on the target
brings up an information dialog that says, "No property pages for ."
Comment 9 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-12 12:02:21 EST 
This is not for an ant script - it is for a "program" external tool.
Comment 10 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-12 12:02:43 EST 
adding jared as cc - please see last comment.
Comment 11 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-12 12:03:11 EST 
I agree we should add the command line info to ant as well - but we do not 
actually generate a command line for Ant, as it runs in the same VM.
Comment 12 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-12 12:26:18 EST 
Marking as enhancement to also show equivalent command line for an Ant process 
launched in the Eclipse VM.
Comment 13 Darin Wright CLA 2003-01-08 21:46:38 EST 
Fixed. Added a "generated" command line for the ant launch configs (see 
AntLaunchDelegate).
Comment 14 Darin Wright CLA 2003-01-08 21:47:06 EST 
Darin, please verify (add see if there is anything else we should add to the 
command line).
Comment 15 Darin Swanson CLA 2003-01-09 11:39:33 EST 
Verified and slightly modified.
I changed the ordering a little and added the input handler and logger options.
