Set Environment Variable At Eclipse workspace level for all launchers?

问题

Can I set a workspace wide setting to add an environment variable to all future launchers created in the workspace?

Use Case

Our unit tests require an environment variable to guide the test to certain resources.
the variable varies with each version of our product

Options - modify each junit launcher with the environment variable - create start up script that sets variable and launches eclipse - set globally

Ideally, I'd like to provide a way for users to set it once per workspace.

Does eclipse have a place to set an environment variable for all launchers?

Thanks

Only option which I can think of is similar to yours where you can create multiple shell scripts(linux) or batch files(windows) and set it up there. for ex -

I am giving examples for windows environment and same can be done for Linux as well -

for windows-

eclipse.exe -DvariableName1=value1 -DvariableName2=value2

As you want to pass different variables to different workspaces, you can also pass location of your workspace as part of arguments.

eclipse.exe -data <your_workspace_location> -DvariableName1=value1 -DvariableName2=value2

You can create multiple shortcuts of eclipse.exe in windows and place them on Desktop (for quick access) if needed. Each shortcut may point to a similar variant of above command with different workspace and different variables.

Hope this helps. Happy coding :)

I have a different approach for doing this on windows. This solution allows you to store a large number of environment variables to one place and apply them globally inside eclipse.

I have gitBash installed already, and associated in windows to execute .bash files
I set up a /c/Temp/.env file with lots of environment variables in the format

export VARIABLE=my value

I create an eclipse_startup.bash script that looks like this (and pin it to my start menu).

echo setting up env
. /c/Temp/.env

echo starting eclipse
/c/Users/me/eclipse-oxygen/eclipse/eclipse.exe

It has the disadvantage that I end up with a bash window open with eclipse, and I have to restart after changing the environment. On the plus side, my complex application has lengthy environment files already, so I can simply load them in and start.
