Configuration Tab
The Configuration Tab is an advanced tab that lets you override the default configuration area location and the config.ini file content of the runtime Eclipse application you are testing.
Area di configurazione
Every Eclipse application instance has a unique configuration area which contains metadata, caches and configuration files read by the runtime and Update Manager upon startup.
Typically, the location of the configuration is not important; therefore, PDE generates a unique configuration area in its own metadata area.
By default, this area is reused by all JUnit Plug-in Test launch configurations and deleted when the launch configuration is deleted. That is why the option to Clear the configuration area before launching is on by default.
Se si desidera, l'utente può impostare l'ubicazione dell'area di configurazione. Variables in the directory path are supported in order to make launch configurations sharable among team members.
File di configurazione
Upon startup, the runtime reads a configuration file named config.ini located in a configuration/ subdirectory of the configuration area associated with the Eclipse application instance. Questo file è un file di proprietà standard che può configurare molti aspetti del runtime. Per un elenco completo delle proprietà supportate, fare riferimento al documento Opzioni di runtime Eclipse.
The Generate a config.ini file with default content is the default option and is recommended unless you have some very specific needs. Quando si seleziona questa opzione, PDE genera un file config.ini con le seguenti proprietà:
The Use an existing config.ini file as a template option takes an existing config.ini and makes a copy of it. PDE neither adds nor removes any properties from the file. However, PDE modifies the osgi.bundles and osgi.splashPath keys by substituting their generic bundle URL values with absolute paths that reflect the actual locations of bundles on disk.
