Set Environment Variable At Eclipse workspace level for all launchers?

Question

Can I set a workspace wide setting to add an environment variable to all future launchers created in the workspace?

Only option which I can think of is similar to yours where you can create multiple shell scripts(linux) or batch files(windows) and set it up there. for ex -

I am giving examples for windows environment and same can be done for Linux as well -

for windows-

eclipse.exe -DvariableName1=value1 -DvariableName2=value2

As you want to pass different variables to different workspaces, you can also pass location of your workspace as part of arguments.

eclipse.exe -data  -DvariableName1=value1 -DvariableName2=value2

You can create multiple shortcuts of eclipse.exe in windows and place them on Desktop (for quick access) if needed. Each shortcut may point to a similar variant of above command with different workspace and different variables.

Hope this helps. Happy coding :)
