If there is anything to do here it is to somehow detect and complain about a badly formatted .ini file.
This is related to bug 259142 though slightly different: This bug asks about basic syntax checking of arguments. Bug 259142 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.
