not eclipserc but what?

Hi list,

I made a package that uses ~/.eclipse/eclipserc file for users' configuration.
But as the comment in Bug#402077(*), it seems not to be recommended.
It works with eclipse3.4 in Debian but not with 3.5 in Ubuntu 9.10.

So, what should I use for unless eclipserc? Could someone tell me, please?

Now eclipse uses gcj if we specify openjdk with /etc/alternatives/java
to use, unless install default-jre-headless package, but it will be fixed,
right?

Yes, I want to pass options as VMARGS="-javaagent:/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/
jp.sourceforge.mergedoc.pleiades/pleiades.jar -Xms40m -Xmx256m"
to use pleiades plugin which makes eclipse localized.

About pleiades, I ITPed as "Bug#555846: ITP: pleiades -- Japanese Language package for Eclipse using Dynamic AOP, Pleiades"


We can specify it as command line as eclipse -vmargs -javaagent:/usr/
lib/eclipse/plugins/jp.sourceforge.mergedoc.pleiades/pleiades.jar -Xms40m -Xmx256m
but it seems to be painful for users. If we can use eclipserc file or so,
I just ask users to copy example eclipserc file to their .eclipse directory.

You said, via eclipse.ini, it means /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini file?
Surely per-user basis setup is better, I agree.
