Mornin'! Just adding to the conversation; I didn’t know JVM arguments from a project's build.properties were passed to JVMs launched by Eclipse. If it’s so, I probably don’t benefit from it since it's probably be the responsibility of the WOLips launcher to read and pass in those arguments (meaning the application is launched using Run/Debug as -> WOApplication).
I’ve mentioned this before, but for years I’ve been running my applications as plain java applications rather than WO applications, since the WOLips launcher constructs a broken classpath for maven applications (which, IIRC, also results in problems resolving workspace projects at runtime when debugging). I haven’t encountered any problems using this method so I think I can safely recommend it. https://github.com/wocommunity/wolips/issues/153 Regarding workarounds for the module system (—add-exports/- -add-opens), I keep those in the global configuration for the JREs used by Eclipse to launch my applications (same place where you’d usually put the hotswap-agent and DCEVM config), so it’s a one time thing that I don’t have to worry about in the context of individual projects.
