    -D Launch Parameters require "-Dparameter=argument" in the Parameter field to work
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Key: WOL-787
                     URL: http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-787
                 Project: WOProject/WOLips
              Issue Type: Bug
              Components: wolips
        Affects Versions: WOLips 3.3.2.* (nightly build please specify)
             Environment: OS X 10.4.11, WO 5.3, Eclipse 3.3.2, WOLips 5094
                Reporter: David Avendasora
                Priority: Minor

    Adding a new -D launch parameter is confusing because need to be formatted like so: "-Dparameter=argument" for it to work, yet the built-in add parameter function ends up adding the parameter as "-Dparameter argument" which does not work.

    The easiest way to achieve this is to set the Parameter Name to "Dparameter=argument" for them to work, yet if you don't then specify an argument in the prompted field, the add function fails (with no error or warning) and no parameter is added. And if you do specify an argument, you end up with ""-Dparameter=argument argument", which works, but looks wrong.

    Existing paremeters such as "-DWORoot=Automatic" are correct in that they have the argument show up in the Argument field when edited, which is the expected behaviour.

    Adding a new -D parameter should automatically use the "=" between the parameter and the argument. Maybe add a checkbox to the add parameter UI so a parameter can be flagged as a -D parameter without having to try to parse the parameter entered.
