[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4346) -Djava.library.path always overwritten with some default

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4346?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12469589#action_12469589 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-4346:
------------------------------------

I suppose it's one undefined-behaviour and one feature request. 

Yes, it overwrites with some default because that default is related to the runtime. Often times a user will go and change hte runtime or change the runtime's information in the runtime wizard, and hten they complain that hte launch configuration doesn't follow suit. So there are several variables that are directly related to the runtime. 

As for why I don't consider the duplication a bug, really, is that hte user specifically went in and added a second -Djava.library.path himself... so my code, being told to replace the java.library.path replaced all instances with its new value. So I see this as undefined behaviour and not necessarily a bug. 

Obviously no launch configuration should have two of the args, so I guess I can ask what is the proper syntax for setting multiple paths here?

> in the launch configuration for my configured jboss server i need to add another directory to the parameter -Djava.library.path.
> after editing it looks like
> -Djava.library.path="/home/arne/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/native:/foo/bar/"
> saving and reopening shows instead
> -Djava.library.path="/home/arne/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/native"
> adding another parameter instead
> -Djava.library.path="/foo/bar"
> resulting in 
> -Djava.library.path="/home/arne/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/native"
> -Djava.library.path="/foo/bar"
> ends up with 
> -Djava.library.path="/home/arne/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/native"
> -Djava.library.path="/home/arne/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/native"
> after saving
> obviously some simple logic checks for the existence of the -Djava.library.path parameter and overwrites it with a default instead of at least appending its default.
> i don't really see what's the meaning behind that, and therefore am convinced it has to be a bug.
> additionally, it stops me from running at least one webapp, that requires the parameter to be set correctly.
