2007-02-07 14:55:02 TJ description Binary package hint: eclipse vmargs specified in "/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini" are ignored when starting Eclipse using the shell script "/usr/bin/eclipse", although "inotifywait -m /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini" shows that eclipse.ini is opened during start-up. vmargs in "/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini" are used when starting Eclipse from its launcher "/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse". "inotifywait" verifies the same file operations are performed on eclipse.ini as in the non-working case. JVM version is the same in both cases: $ /usr/bin/java -version java version "1.5.0_08" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode) $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java -version java version "1.5.0_08" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode) Here are the complete command lines from each method of starting Eclipse.
