Unable to define multiple arguments for ECLIPSE_USER_ARGS in ~/gentoo/.eclipserc. Single arguments work fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In .eclipserc, ECLIPSE_USER_ARGS="-clean -showlocation" 2. run eclipse-3.4 Actual Results: Eclipse does not recognize either argument. Expected Results: Eclipse should recognize both arguments. Possible solution/Workaround: Removing the quotes around ${ECLIPSE_USER_ARGS} on the exec line in /usr/bin/eclipse-3.4 allows multiple args to work. Original Line: exec "${ECLIPSE_BIN}" -vm $(java-config --java) "$@" "${ECLIPSE_USER_ARGS}" -vmargs ${VM_ARGS} Modified line: exec "${ECLIPSE_BIN}" -vm $(java-config --java) "$@" ${ECLIPSE_USER_ARGS} -vmargs ${VM_ARGS}
This was fixed long time ago (see /usr/portage/dev-util/eclipse-sdk/files/3.4/eclipse-3.4). Please mark as RESOLVED FIXED.
