[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Starting RCP app with specified vm w/o hard-

[Daniel Krügler <dsp@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I would like to control the startup of my RCP app to
use a specified Java vm, therefore the -vm  runtime option
seems appropriate. Problem is: A priori it is unknown,
*which* absolute or relative path the wanted java vm will
have (because that depends on the actual installation),
but it seems that the -vm parameter does not accept a
specified environment variable (which could be set by the
installation) - is that assertion correct?

As a last fall back the install program could manipulate my
rcp.ini file, but I would like to find an approach that
could take advantage of an environment variable.

According to the docs, since 3.3x a so-called .ee file
could be provided as -vm value. Could this file use
environment variables? The documentation in

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Execution_Environment_Descriptions

seems not clear on this point. Btw.: Is it correct, that
by specifying such a .ee file the *required* parameters
are really *all* of

ee.executable
ee.executable.console
ee.vm.library
ee.library.path

?

Thanks,

Daniel
