Hi,
my problem is a bit more specific, actually. As I told, I am developing an
extension to Sun's existing Eclipse WTP integration plugin. What i want to
achieve is that somebody installs my Eclipse plugin, checks some additional
checkboxes (that enable certain VM-options for Glassfish), then start
glassfish with Eclipse WTP, and the specified JVM-arguments are now set to
the JVM that runs his glassfish. If i would only have to do this in my own
machine, then of course the easiest way would be to go and manully add the
required VM-options to domain.xml. But as I want it to work on *anybody*'s
machine, this is a bit harder. The last thing i would like to do is make my
eclipse plugin go dig up the user's domain.xml, parse it, add my
VM-arguments to it, save the changes, and *then* execute glassfish. Setting
some environment variable would be way easier. But if you provide no hooks
or extension-points to do this, it seems that i have no other options. Is
that really so? : /(
thansk once again,
sander

Are you using V2 or V3?
We have big improvements in V3 -- see this
blog<
http://blogs.sun.com/foo/entry/how_to_configure_domain_xml>
=========
In V3 you could do something like this -
export FRAME_ENABLED=true
in domain.xml
<jvm-options>-Dmy.framework.
enabled=${FRAME_ENABLED}
V3 will look for the token inside domain.xml then in System Properties then,
finally, in the environment
