OK, you are telling me that I can't use the full IDE with -jprofile. I will settle for running the user's profile, as long as I can load the 'standalone' script after the profile has run. In other words, I want to use PM to package my app so that I don't have to worry about what addons are in the user's machine. I still want the full IDE so I can easily troubleshoot the expected crashes in the early days.
The problem is that the addons in the script have requires that fail when the 'standalone' script is loaded. I think that all I need is to disable load and require when my 'standalone' script is loaded. The script will have all the code I need, and I just need to make sure that requires in the addons don't cause errors during the load. Is there any way to stick a line into the front of the 'standalone' script that will disable load and require? I could do it in a short ijs script, if there is any way to force that script to be put into the standalone script ahead of the libraries. I'm not sure what I did that made my ARGV set to <'undefined' when I was testing, but that is no longer a problem.
