Build Identifier: Build id: 20110218-0911 It will be very convenient to provide default values for "VM arguments" for each UT that is launched for certain workspace. We have convenient group in preferences "Java - JUnit" - It has option for "-ea". It will be very convenient to have default "VM arguments" for JUnit launcher. Such filed we already have in Debug Configurations dialog. Example: each user have its own link to db and UTs, as option, expect db link to be provided by sys variable to avoid code changes. Reproducible: Always
I agree. Preferences -> Java -> JUnit: "Add '-ea' to VM arguments when creating a new JUnit launch configuration" should have the box checked by default.
I know this is a very old request but it might gain more relevance now, since from Java 9 on, users might need to use --add-modules regularly (see [1] for example). It might also be possible to reach a similar functionality with the new Launch Prototypes, but I have not checked that. [1]: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47412779/1280947
I see different issues here: (In reply to Lyle Z from comment #1) > I agree.

We are, however, considering new UI which would allow you to configure such dependency as a property of your test folder. See our WIP in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Java9/ModularityOptions
