Re: [cdt-dev] Eclipse-wide environment variable recognition by sh ell

Maybe I don't understand your problem well, but I guess there is almost 
all now to set appropriate environment. If your Eclipse  launch script 
(or Windows batch file) sets environment variables, javaw inherits them. 
They become available through EnvironmentReader. All processes we launch 
from Eclipse also inherit this environment. The two major things we lack 
are UI for setting additional environment variables and method of 
storing these extra settings in environment to make them available to 
external tools. Both things are easy to implement. Both of them seems to 
be not critical, just an convenience issue.
