Eclipse canonical list of command line options

Question

I have googled all the obvious strings, searched through FAQs but cannot find a canonical list of command line options for eclipse.

I have installed eclipse on an NFS mounted directory and upon upgrading to helios immediately began having errors with lock files.

The NFS export options are (rw,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async) I can't process locks in the workspace (an NFS dir) nor in eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.manager/

Upon starting eclipse, eclipse posts a dialog

Locking is not possible in the directory "(NFS path)/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi". A common reason is that the file system or Runtime Environment does not support file locking for that location. Please choose a different location, or disable file locking passing "-Dosgi.locking=none" as a VM argument.

starting eclipse directly with the arg -Dosgi.locking=none still belches same error. Since it's a VM arg, I cannot figure out how/where to specify an alternate lock dir or none; as stated, I can't even find a cannonical list of all eclipse args.

Thanks, bsd

Answer 1

Try the Eclipse runtime options page on the Eclipse site.

If at all possible, arrange that both your Eclipse installation and your Eclipse workspaces are on a local disc drive. You will notice the difference in performance versus NFS,

Since i've installed an SSD for os drive, im trying to run as many apps as possible via my 6TB NAS NFS fs

Answer 3

Check if you have any command line options when starting eclipse. For some reason, it appears that if there are any command line options, that the default eclipse.ini configuration file is not used.

I think that you also need to add the "-Dosgi.locking=none" AFTER a -vmargs parameter.

This may be helpful, but the information is a little outdated... http://www.mhworth.com/pub/blogs/matt/?p=11
