This is related to bug 245362 though slightly different: Bug 245362 asks about basic syntax checking of arguments. This bug asks about checking existence of required file arguments. To me this looks like a nice candidate for requesting a BugDay or community contribution (by setting the bugday and/or helpwanted keywords). The code is in :pserver:dev.eclipse.org/cvsroot/rt org.eclipse.equinox/framework/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.executable library/eclipse.c This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.

If you specify, for example, a file that does not exist in the "--launcher.ini" argument, the launcher does not give an error. For example: eclipse.exe --launcher.ini non-existing-file.ini Expected: The launch should fail with an error stating that "non-existing-file.ini" not found. Actual: The launch continues without using any .ini file without any indication of a problem (except for weird behaviour caused by using default vm and vmargs).
