restart plugin does not preserve start options

[bastiK]

When I start josm like this:

java -Djosm.home=$HOME/.josm-dev -jar dist/josm-custom.jar

The preference folder is changed to the default folder after restart.

Does anybody know, is there a way to robustly determine launch settings like that? I haven't found one yet...

[bastiK]

System.getenv() should work here. But -Xmx400m is different again, not sure about that.

[bastiK]

another thing: there is an command line option --language=de. (Haven't tested if it works with your plugin)

[Upliner]

OK, I can dump the whole environment to the command line, however not all options are passed through the environment. It's quite easy to handle some specific options(currently, I handle only -Xmx), but it would be nice to find out some universal way that handles all possible startup options.

Is ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getInputArguments() what you are looking for?

​http://leolewis.website.org/wordpress/2011/07/06/programmatically-restart-a-java-application/ probably handles more than what we need, but it should cover everything. Nicely documented, too.

Fixed in ​[o28438]. Thanks to simon04. Maybe I'll include more advanced solution by xeen sometime later.
