Description	Flags
IApplication implementation to use the argument	none

Description Paul Bilnoski

Build Identifier: 1.3

Parameters given to the "run" element in an application extension point are not evaluated. It is optional that an IApplication instance may also implement IExecutableExtension to be passed static arguments.

   <extension
         id="brokey"
         point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
      <application
            visible="true">
         <run
               class="bug.rap.applicationargs.Application">
            <parameter
                  name="configParam"
                  value="custom argument">
            </parameter>
         </run>
      </application>
   </extension>

This is useful when the IApplication implementation is complex and could benefit from argument injection instead of being subclassed when multiple entry points are defined on the same RAP application.

Reproducible: Always
