Description jieryn 2007-04-10 04:23:58 UTC 
The current /usr/bin/eclipse-3.2 supports user-specific options found in  $HOME/.eclipserc however, one of the best features would be to override the 0644 /usr/lib/eclipse-3.2/eclipse.ini options for the JVM.

The patch included allows a user to override options in the eclipse.ini file without having to resort to custom execs, etc. For example, here is my $HOME/.eclipserc:

ECLIPSE_OPTS="-vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx1024M -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M"

Thanks!!

Reproducible: Always

Support for this has been somewhat implemented in Eclipse-3.3, so closing this bug.

Now the conf file is in /etc/eclipserc.
