Description Asaf Yaffe CLA 2007-05-13 06:59:51 EDT 
Driver: 200705080100A (TPTP 4.4.i3 Candidate Build, Patch A)

The Profiling Launch Configuration dialog does not allow using a working directory (in the Arguments tab) which does not exist on the local machine. This is a serious limitation when defining an "External Java Application" Launch Configuration since it prevents the user from using a working directory which is relevant for the remote machine on which the Java application is launched.

Asaf,
 I am not sure if  this can be contained in 4.4, This seems like a remote use case/launch config issue. Will investigate it further before triaging
Comment 2 Asaf Yaffe CLA 2007-05-16 02:04:53 EDT 
The priority of this bug should be determined based on the importance of the "remote profiling" use case. This bug prevents users from doing remote profiling of applicatiosn which require a working directory to be set properly. IMHO, this is a blocker for most remote profiling use cases.
