Rob Stryker commented on JBDS-735:
----------------------------------
In the past eclipse.ini looked something like this:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Now eclipse.ini looks something like this:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.200.v20090429-1630.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.0.200.v20090306-1900
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
I know that hte JBDS build often changed the eclipse.ini slightly for any number of
reasons including adding customizing the memory args (or anything else). This JIRA was to
make sure that the eclipse.ini customizations did not clobber the new required parts of
eclipse.ini such as the startup plugin jar, or hte launcher.library jar.
I had discovered this bug because my quick-install script for a new eclipse installation
similarly coppied a custom eclipse.ini into the unzipped eclipse installation, however I
realized I could not get any of my new installations to actually run. it took me a few
hours to figure out the eclipse.ini had been clobbered in a way that made the installation
unable to start up.
After mentioning this, I was told to make a JIRA for it to make sure the official build
system did not suffer from the same problem.
Ensure JBDS build doesn't change critical parts of eclipse.ini

Key: JBDS-735
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-735
Project: JBoss Developer Studio
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build
Reporter: Rob Stryker
Assignee: Rob Stryker
Fix For: 2.1.0
Changes in the eclipse.ini related to P2 have been made. This means we should make sure
future GA versions do not clobber the eclipse.ini in an inappropriate fashion.
Only appropriate clobbering allowed!
