Sure, thanks for that clarification. Yes, that's indeed the way command line strings do need to be built, if the path or filename has spaces and would therefore need to be quoted.
To be clear, for those who may not have read the entry he refers to, the example command line I offered does work (as is) as long as it's executed within the directory where the exe lives. I didn't think to go further and show building it with the complete path (and those quotes if needed), but the complete would of course be needed to create a real shortcut, so thanks for adding that clarification. My focus was on the more significant challenge of specifying the perspectiveid, and finding those. :-) Anyway, I appreciate that you added info also as a comment on the blog for future readers there. Speaking of that, if you would want to also add the info from your next message here on the list, about using the -data argument, I'd certainly welcome that. /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Onnis Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 10:14 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [cfaussie] Start eclipse with a particular perspective Thanks for this Charlie I will add though that the -perspective switch needs to be outside of the quotes when you create the shortcut. For example my install shortcut is "D:\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\FlashBuilder.exe" so doing it like "D:\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\FlashBuilder.exe -perspective com.adobe.ide.coldfusion.perspective.CFML" does not work. It needs to be "D:\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\FlashBuilder.exe" -perspective com.adobe.ide.coldfusion.perspective.CFML _____ From: charlie arehart [mailto:charlie_li...@carehart.org] Sent: Saturday, 19 June 2010 3:14 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [cfaussie] Start eclipse with a particular perspective Good news. You can use the same arguments to pass to the .exe (whether eclipse.exe, cfbuilder.exe, or flashbuilder.exe, whichever it is you've installed). The trick is knowing the value to pass in for the -perspective switch. It's NOT just the perspective name. Rather than annoy some with a long email here, I have created a blog entry on this: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/6/18/cfbuilder_flashbuilder_command _line_perspective_specification I'll welcome comments (there or here).
