Hello, I'd like to have a method of setting a parameter in the run-time-config so that this parameter will be queried before the application launches. Example: on the "(x)= Arguments" Tab I enter parameters --file=? And when I hit run a message box pops up with something like >>What value to you want for "file" ?<< so i dont have to go through all the pages setting up a different parameter for parameters that change quite often... I hope someone understands what i need... Thank you, Jan Schweizer
Moving to JDT/Debug
Jared, this looks like a launch variable.
This variable already exists (see Bug 36538). We just need to add support for variables to the launch config tabs in Debug and JDT Debug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10035 ***
Hm, I don't think the duplicate is quite what I meant... What I do like to have is a way to specify wich command-line parameters of a given command line are to be asked from the user when the application starts. If I only could remember where I saw this feature before... It's like a query in MS Access where you specify a parameter to be entered on execution like in SELECT * FROM test WHERE a= SELECTME; and SELECTME is no column of the table test... Access will pop up a little message box asking the "missing" parameter. Or like the templating feature in IntelliJ IDEA that allows for the file templates to contain variables (like ${NAME} ) wich will then be asked from the user at file creation. In that way I want to specify parameters in the command line like --outfile ${outfile} so that i can easily write to different files on each program run... I hope someone understands me...
Can you please explain what the variables provided by Bug 36538 don't provide that you need?
Sorry, you're absolutely right. I have no idea what duplicate bug i was reading earlier today. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36538 ***
