Setting Java System Variables

Some Enterprise Developer functions rely on specific parameters that can be specified by setting Java system variables, which are simple key-value pairs.

These variables can generally be set in two different ways:

By using the "-D" Java virtual machine (JVM) argument on start up. As all JVM arguments, the parameter must be defined under "-vmargs" and has the following syntax:
- -DmyVariable=myValue
These arguments can be configured, for example, in the file.

Example:
By using the System.setProperty(…) Java method at runtime.

Enterprise Developer supports an additional way to define Java system variables by parsing the when started. Variables are simply defined by key value pairs.

Example:

Note: The value must be a valid Java string when using the mfeclipse.ini file. Since "\" is an escape character, either "\\" or "/" can be used for file path separators. If the file mfeclipse.ini does not exist, it can be created manually.
